CHS — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvCHS (BVRB_9G214770) on sugar beet chromosome 9 encodes a protein with chalcone/stilbene synthase and polyketide synthase type III domains. The enzyme is annotated with naringenin-chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, and SUMO transferase activities. It is associated with flavonoid, anthocyanin, chalcone, polyketide, and carotenoid biosynthesis, as well as pollen wall assembly, auxin polar transport, responses to UV-B, jasmonic acid, and gravity, and heat acclimation. The protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. BvCHS is linked to root yield, photosynthetic rate, flowering time, anthocyanin content, and tolerance to abiotic stresses including salt, drought, UV light, and oxidative stress. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to male fertility, pollen exine formation, sporopollenin biosynthesis, and disease resistance.
