CHS — Capsicum annuum
Summary
CaCHS (T459_03276) on pepper chromosome 1 encodes a chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase with naringenin-chalcone synthase, trihydroxystilbene synthase and tetraketide alpha-pyrone synthase activities. The gene is associated with flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis, secondary metabolism, polyketide anabolism, pollen wall assembly, defense response, sporulation, and responses to thirst and chewing. Its product localises to the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum. CaCHS is linked to anthocyanin content, stem dry weight, stem length and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional polyketide synthase activities (EC 2.3.1.95, 2.3.1.333).
