ANR — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB02G49080S (symbol ANR, also known as BjBAN or BAN) on chromosome B02 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a protein with NAD(P)-binding, epimerase/dehydratase, and NAD(P)-binding domain superfamily domains, and is annotated with anthocyanidin reductase, racemase and epimerase, flavanone 4-reductase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, NADP binding, and oxidoreductase activities. The gene is associated with pigmentation, seed development, negative regulation of flavonoid anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, lipogenesis, triglyceride anabolism, cell cycle transition, and NO storage. It has been linked to seed color, seed size, and photosynthetic rate. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin accumulation, seed coat development, and condensed tannin accumulation.
