DFR — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvDFR (BVRB_1G007170) on sugar beet chromosome 1 encodes a protein with flavanone 4-reductase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, and flavonol synthase activities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin production, flavonoid content, and seed coat pigmentation, as well as responses to UV-B light, oxidative stress, low temperature, nitrogen stress, and herbivory. It has been linked to photosynthetic rate, stomatal closure, root gravitropism, flower and stamen development, and pollen fertility. Localisation evidence connects the product to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. Related genes in other species are linked to flavonoid biosynthesis, UV-B tolerance, and seed coat pigmentation.
