PAL — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB08G43290S (BjPAL1) on chromosome B08 of Indian mustard encodes a protein with ammonia-lyase activity and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity, belonging to the aromatic lyase and Phe_NH3-lyase_shielding_dom_sf families. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid, flavonoid, anthocyanin, lignin, and salicylate biosynthesis, as well as L-phenylalanine breakdown and cinnamic acid anabolism. It is linked to responses to UV-B, wounding, oxidative stress, and drought recovery, and to traits including seed color, photosynthetic rate, freezing tolerance, salt stress tolerance, herbicide resistance, and resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus and bacterial pathogens. Associations also include negative regulation of cytokinin-mediated signalling, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythm, and localisation to the cytosol and SCF complex. Related genes in other species link the family to UV stress tolerance, herbivore defense, and methyl salicylate production.
