PAL — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB06G50600S (BjPAL1) encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) on Indian mustard chromosome B06, possessing phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and ammonia-lyase activities. This gene is associated with the breakdown of L-phenylalanine and salicylic acid, cinnamic acid and phenylpropanoid anabolism, and lignin breakdown. BjPAL1 is linked to drought recovery, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythm, and responses to UV-B, wounding, and oxidative stress. It is also associated with seed color, photosynthetic rate, and UV light sensitivity. The gene is associated with numerous phenotypes including anthocyanin and flavonoid biosynthesis, lignin biosynthesis, freezing tolerance, salt stress tolerance, and resistance to pathogens such as Cucumber mosaic virus. Additionally, BjPAL1 is linked to herbicide resistance and isoproturon accumulation, as well as cytokinin hypersensitivity and decreased root meristem size.
