FLS — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB08G11740S (symbol FLS) on Indian mustard chromosome B08 encodes a 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase with leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities, and binds vitamin C and metal ions. The gene is associated with pigmentation, anthocyanin and coumarin anabolism, nitric oxide storage, and response to molecule of fungal origin, and its product localises to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flavonol and anthocyanin biosynthesis (EC 1.14.20.4, 1.14.20.6, 1.14.11.9).
