FLS — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoFLS (BOLC102_C09P071380.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 9 encodes a protein with a DIOX_N domain and an Oxoglu/Fe-dep_dioxygenase_dom, and has annotated oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, with 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and the other dehydrogenated, as well as leucocyanidin oxygenase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, flavanone 4-reductase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. This gene is associated with flavonoid, anthocyanin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, as well as chlorophyll metabolism, glucosinolate and coumarin anabolism, and auxin polar transport. It is linked to responses to UV-B light, gravity, and abiotic stresses including drought, salt, low temperature, and nitrogen stress. Associations also include flavonoid and anthocyanin content, photosynthetic ability, flower development, pollen fertility, root morphology, stomatal closure, and tolerance to herbicides, heavy metals, and root-knot nematodes. The protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flavonol synthesis, root gravitropic response, male fertility, and pathogen and herbiv
