ANS — Brassica napus

Summary

BnANS (DARMORV10_A03P53840.1) on chromosome A03 of oilseed rape encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin metabolism and breakdown, proanthocyanidin biosynthesis, pigment accumulation, and regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism. It has been connected to seed color, seed coat color, leaf color, anthocyanin content, seed size, and photosynthetic rate. Additional associations include vitamin B6 and A metabolism, cell cycle transition, sucrose and triglyceride anabolism, and coumarin anabolism. The encoded protein localises to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanin pigmentation, seed pigmentation, photoprotection, high light stress tolerance, and chlorophyll content.
