Gene Details:

• Gene ID: LjSGA_131670.1
• Gene Symbol: LjCCD7
• Gene Name: CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 7
• Genome:
• Species: Lotus japonicus

Functional Descriptions:

• CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 7 modulates plant growth, reproduction, senescence, and determinate nodulation in the model legume Lotus japonicus.
• Transgenic LjCCD7-silenced plants displayed reduced height due to shorter internodes, and more branched shoots and roots than the controls, and an increase in total plant biomass, while their root:shoot ratio remained unchanged.
• Decreased LjCCD7 transcript correlates with changes in shoot and root morphology.
• The results show that the impairment of CCD7 activity in L. japonicus leads to a phenotype linked to SL functions, but with specific features possibly due to the peculiar developmental pattern of this plant species.
