CHS — Brassica napus

Summary

BnCHS (DARMORV10_A02P02260.1) on chromosome A02 of oilseed rape encodes a chalcone synthase family protein with chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, flavanone 4-reductase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, and SUMO transferase activities. This gene is associated with flavonoid, anthocyanin, proanthocyanidin, and pigment metabolism and accumulation, as well as responses to UV light, gravity, and auxin polar transport. It has been linked to flower and seed coat color, flavonoid and anthocyanin content, lignin content, photosynthetic and respiration rates, drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, root morphology, stamen development, and root-knot and cyst nematode resistance. Related genes in other species are linked to flavonoid and glucosinolate biosynthesis, UV-B sensitivity, male fertility, freezing tolerance, and defense responses.
