BOLC102_C09P001470.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C09P001470.1_BOLC102_V1 on cabbage chromosome 9 encodes a chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase with naringenin-chalcone synthase activity and protein homodimerization activity. This gene is associated with the biosynthesis of flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenylpropanoids, polyketides, melatonin, and cannabinoids, as well as with pigmentation, pollen wall assembly, pistil development, and responses to UV, UV-A, and UV-B light. It is linked to the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis, secretion, oxidative phosphorylation, the TCA cycle, and general response to stimulus. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, and polyketide synthase complex. Associations with cytoplasmic male sterility and heterosis have also been noted. Related genes in other species link this gene to chalcone synthase activity (EC 2.3.1.74).
