ANS — Brassica napus

Summary

BnANS (ANS, TT18, LDOX) on chromosome C07 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) 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, flavonoid and phenylpropanoid metabolism, pigment accumulation, and regulation of anthocyanin and phenylpropanoid pathways. It has been linked to seed color, seed coat color, leaf color, anthocyanin content, seed size, and photosynthetic rate. Additional associations include leaf formation, cell cycle transition, vitamin B6 and A metabolism, sucrose and triglyceride biosynthesis, coumarin production, and lipogenesis. The protein localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to anthocyanin pigmentation, seed pigmentation, photoprotection, high light stress tolerance, and photosynthetic traits including chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate.
