ANS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA05G32850S (symbol ANS, preferred name BjJAO1, also known as BjJOX1) on Indian mustard chromosome A05 encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with jasmonic acid hydrolase activity, as well as leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. The gene is associated with regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling, downregulation of defense response to insects, defense response to oomycetes, regulation of defense response to fungi, response to molecule of fungal origin, anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, pigmentation, coumarin anabolism, morphine anabolism, and NO storage. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to disease resistance. Sequence similarity connections also associate the family with seed color, leaf color, anthocyanin content, shoot growth angle, root thickness, and disease tolerance.
