Involved in the inactivation of early gibberellin (GA) intermediates. Expressed in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and petioles of young leaves, in the leaf margin and petiole vein of cotyledons, and at low levels in the filaments of developing flowers. Not detected in siliques. No visible phenotype; due to the redundancy with CYP714A1. Cyp714a1 and cyp714a2 double mutants flower earlier and have an increased plant size and biomass. Overexpression of CYP714A2 causes severe dwarfism with defective leaf development. Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.
