ANS — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoANS (BOLC102_C07P057140.1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, proanthocyanidin, flavonoid, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and metabolism, as well as pigmentation, vacuole organization, and responses to jasmonic acid, wounding, and fungal molecules. It localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Associations with leaf color, anthocyanin content, chlorophyll a and b content, photosynthetic rate, and UV light sensitivity have been noted. Related genes in other species link the family to seed coat color, seed pigmentation, anthocyanin pigmentation, photoprotection, and high light stress tolerance.
