CHS — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvCHS (BVRB_1G018770) on sugar beet chromosome Bvchr1_un.sca002 encodes a chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase with naringenin-chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, and tetraketide alpha-pyrone synthase activities. The gene is associated with flavonoid, anthocyanin, chalcone, polyketide, and carotenoid biosynthesis, as well as pollen wall assembly, auxin polar transport, and responses to UV-B, jasmonic acid, gravity, and heat acclimation. It is linked to root yield, anthocyanin content, flowering time, photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, stomatal opening, root morphology, and tolerance to salt, drought, oxidative stress, UV light, and nitrogen stress. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to pollen exine development, male fertility, seed coat pigmentation, and disease resistance.
