Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: BnaC07.ZEP
  • Gene Name: Zeaxanthin epoxidase
  • Genome:
  • Species: Brassica napus

Functional Descriptions:

  • The functional divergence of the gene pairs BnaA09.ZEP/BnaC09.ZEP and BnaA07.ZEP/BnaC07.ZEP, which encode enzymes with tissue-specific roles in carotenoid and ABA biosynthesis in flowers and leaves, respectively.
  • BnaMYB44s specifically targeted and repressed the expression of BnaA09.ZEP/BnaC09.ZEP but not BnaA07.ZEP/BnaC07.ZEP.
  • Overall, these results showed that BnaA09.ZEP and BnaC09.ZEP are mainly responsible for flower color, whereas BnaA07.ZEP and BnaC07.ZEP mainly function in leaves, where they are involved in ABA production and drought tolerance.
  • Suggesting a partial functional compensation between BnaA07.ZEP/BnaC07.ZEP and BnaA09.ZEP/BnaC09.ZEP for carotenoid biosynthesis.
