Basic information
Locus name	AT1G13710
Alias	KLU(CYP78A5)
Organism	Arabidopsis thaliana
Taxonomic identifier	[NCBI]
Function category
Effect for Senescence	delay
Gene Description	Encodes the cytochrome P450 CYP78A5 monooxygenase. Contributes to the generation of a growth-stimulating signal distinct from the classical phytohormones that prevents proliferation arrest, promoting organ growth. In ovules it is required for megagametogenesis, maternal control of seed size and restricting megaspore mother cell fate to a single cell.
Evidence	Genetic evidence [Ref 1]
