ANS — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvANS (BVRB_2G023670) on sugar beet chromosome 2 encodes a 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase with jasmonic acid hydrolase activity, leucocyanidin oxygenase activity, and flavonol synthase activity. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, flavonoid, carotenoid, and coumarin anabolism, as well as the regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling and responses to oxidative stress, fungal pathogens, oomycetes, and toxic substances. It is linked to photosynthetic rate, drought stress tolerance, spider mite resistance, antifungal resistance, and pattern-triggered immunity. The protein localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to jasmonic acid response, anthocyanin content, disease tolerance, and net photosynthetic rate.
