PAL — Brassica juncea
Summary
BjPAL1 (BJUB08G43250S) on chromosome B08 of Indian mustard encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, an enzyme with ammonia-lyase activity. The gene is associated with the biosynthesis of lignin, anthocyanins, flavonoids, cinnamic acid, salicylic acid and suberin, as well as with L-phenylalanine and salicylic acid breakdown. It is linked to responses to UV-B light, wounding, oxidative stress, drought recovery, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythm, and negative regulation of cytokinin signalling. Associations with agronomic traits include seed colour, photosynthetic rate, freezing tolerance, salt stress tolerance, herbicide resistance, and resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus and other pathogens. The protein localises to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect them to phenylalanine metabolism, UV stress tolerance, herbivore defence and methyl salicylate production.
