2-oxoglutarate (2OG) and Fe(II)-dependent oxygenase superfamily protein
Curator Summary
A single copy gene that encodes a protein with sequence similarity to tomato E8 (ACC oxidase, the last step in ethylene biosynthesis) involved in ethylene synthesis and fruit ripening in tomato. This gene is not induced by ethylene in siliques. The transcript is found in siliques, etiolated seedlings, leaves, stems and flowers.
