ANS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB01G06090S (symbol ANS, also known as BjJAO1, JAO1, JOX1, or BjJOX1) on Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) chromosome B01 encodes a 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase with jasmonic acid hydrolase activity, as well as leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. The gene is associated with the regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling, downregulation of defense responses to insects, and defense responses to oomycetes and fungi. It is linked to anthocyanin, flavonoid, coumarin, and morphine biosynthesis, pigmentation, and nitric oxide storage. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Related genes in other species are linked to disease resistance, root and shoot growth, seed and leaf color, anthocyanin content, shoot growth angle, root thickness, and disease tolerance.
