OPR11 (TRAESCS2B02G328100) — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS2B02G328100 (symbol OPR11, preferred name TaOPR1) on bread wheat chromosome 2B encodes a 12-oxophytodienoate reductase, an NADH:flavin oxidoreductase/NADH oxidase N-terminal domain-containing protein with FMN binding and redox activity. The gene is associated with jasmonic acid and fatty acid anabolism, as well as vitamin, sulfur compound, and aromatic amino acid metabolism. It has been linked to photosynthesis light harvesting in photosystem II, cytochrome b6f complex assembly, and cellular response to UV-A. Associations include plant male sterility, jasmonic acid content, and salinity tolerance, with expression linked to pollen, stamen, flower, and leaf tissues. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to jasmonic acid biosynthesis and male sterility.
