PAL — Brassica juncea
Summary
BJUA04G23460S (BjPAL1) on Indian mustard chromosome A04 encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, an enzyme with ammonia-lyase activity. This gene is associated with the biosynthesis of lignin, anthocyanins, flavonoids, cinnamic acid, salicylic acid and suberin, as well as with L-phenylalanine and lignin breakdown. BjPAL1 is associated with responses to UV-B, wounding, oxidative stress, drought recovery, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythm, and negative regulation of cytokinin signalling. Trait associations include seed color, photosynthetic rate, UV light sensitivity, and tolerance to freezing, salt, copper stress, and pathogens including Cucumber mosaic virus. Studies of related genes in other species link the PAL family to phenylalanine metabolism, UV stress tolerance, herbivore defence and methyl salicylate production.
