FLS — Brassica napus

Summary

BnFLS (DARMORV10_A10P28100.1) on chromosome A10 of oilseed rape encodes a protein with a DIOX_N domain and an IPNS-like_FE2OG_OXY domain, and exhibits oxidoreductase activity, leucocyanidin oxygenase activity, naringenin-chalcone synthase activity, flavanone 4-reductase activity, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity, flavonol synthase activity, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activity. The gene is associated with flavonoid metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, proanthocyanidin anabolism, and kaempferol content, as well as phenylpropanoid anabolism and glucosinolate anabolism. It has been linked to seed coat pigmentation, pollen fertility restoration trait, flower development trait, and responses to UV-B light sensitivity, low temperature stress response, drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, and nitrogen stress tolerance. Additional associations include root morphology trait, stomatal complex closure time, herbicide sensitivity, insect damage response trait, and root-knot nematode resistance. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cyst nematode resistance, root gravitropic response, male fertility, and post-transcriptional gene silencing.
