PAL — Brassica juncea
Summary
BjPAL1 (BJUB01G44230S) on Indian mustard chromosome B01 encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, an enzyme with ammonia-lyase activity. The gene is associated with the biosynthesis of cinnamic acid, anthocyanins, flavonoids, lignin, and salicylic acid, as well as with the breakdown of salicylic acid, L-phenylalanine, and lignin. It is linked to responses to UV-B, wounding, oxidative stress, and drought recovery, and to photomorphogenesis and circadian rhythm. Associations with agronomic traits include seed color, photosynthetic rate, freezing tolerance, salt stress tolerance, herbicide resistance, and resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus and other pathogens. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to phenylalanine metabolism, UV stress resistance, and herbivore defense.
