FLS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BjFLS2 (BJUB06G45920S) encodes a protein belonging to the IPNS-like superfamily, with flavonol synthase activity and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activity, and binds vitamin C and metal ions. The protein is localised to the cytoplasm. In Indian mustard, BjFLS2 is associated with the flavonol biosynthetic process, pigmentation, coumarin anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, nitric oxide storage, and response to molecules of fungal origin. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flavonol biosynthesis and dioxygenase activity.
