FLS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA06G16400S (BjFLS3) is a gene on Indian mustard chromosome A06. It encodes a protein with a DIOX_N domain and an Oxoglu/Fe-dep_dioxygenase_dom domain, and is annotated with leucocyanidin oxygenase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, flavonol synthase and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities, and binds vitamin C and metals. The gene is associated with flavonol, anthocyanin, chalcone, coumarin and flavonoid biosynthesis, pigmentation, auxin polar transport, nitric oxide storage, and responses to gravity, UV-B, fungal molecules, oxidative stress, jasmonic acid, wounding, light and auxin. It localises to the tonoplast, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm and nucleus. Associations include photosynthetic ability, UV-B sensitivity, adventitious rootless, herbicide sensitivity, insect damage response, flower development, light intensity response, pollen fertility restoration, anthocyanin content, stomatal closure time, plant height, low temperature stress, freezing tolerance, circadian regulation, lateral and secondary root development, seed pigmentation, biomass accumulation, root gravitropism and water deficit response. Related genes in other species link the family to flavonol biosynthesis, anthocyanin accumulation, herbivory response, seed coat pigmentation, circadian rhythm, male fertility and herbicide resistance.
