Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: PbGA2ox8
• Gene Name: pear GA 2-beta-dioxygenase 8
• Genome:
• Species: Pyrus bretschneideri

Functional Descriptions:

• PbGA2ox8 overexpression reduced the GA4 level and induced anthocyanin accumulation in pear fruit.
• PbGA2ox8 preferentially induced vascular-dependent anthocyanin biosynthesis in calcium-enriched areas.
• Transient overexpression of PbGA2ox8 resulting from vacuum infiltration induced anthocyanin accumulation preferentially in calcium-enriched areas near the vascular bundles in pear leaves.
• We propose a fruit-striping mechanism, in which the abnormal overexpression of PbGA2ox8 in “Red Zaosu” induces the formation of a longitudinal array of anthocyanin stripes near vascular bundles in fruit.
