CHS — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvCHS (BVRB_2G042490) on sugar beet chromosome 2 encodes a chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase with naringenin-chalcone synthase and acyltransferase activity. The gene is associated with the biosynthesis of flavonoids, anthocyanins, polyketides, monoterpenoids, triterpenoids, waxes, carotenoids, and ergosterol, as well as with ALA metabolism, sucrose metabolism, and DNA replication. It is linked to salt stress response and localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. BvCHS is associated with root yield. Related genes in other species connect the family to the enzyme class 2.3.1.74.
