ANS — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C02F2650, designated AoANS, encodes a Fe2OG dioxygenase domain-containing protein on asparagus chromosome 2. The enzyme exhibits jasmonic acid hydrolase, leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities, along with 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, vitamin C binding, redox activity, and metal binding. AoANS is associated with anthocyanin, flavonoid, and coumarin anabolism, regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling, downregulation of defense response to insects, regulation of defense response to fungi, defense response to oomycetes, response to molecules of fungal origin, and cellular response to toxic substances. The gene is linked to photosynthetic rate, anthocyanin content, biotic stress tolerance, drought stress tolerance, spider mite resistance, jasmonate catabolism, pattern-triggered immunity, oxidative stress, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon sensitivity, PAH detoxification, and antifungal resistance. The protein localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm.
