CHS — Capsicum annuum
Summary
T459_07533 (CHS1B) on pepper chromosome 3 encodes a chalcone synthase (EC 2.3.1.74), a type III polyketide synthase with naringenin-chalcone synthase activity, acyltransferase activity, and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with flavonoid and anthocyanin metabolism and biosynthesis, polyketide anabolism, secondary metabolism, defense response, sporulation, and responses to thirst and chewing. It has been linked to anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, seed longevity, stem dry weight, and stem length. Related genes in other species connect it to flavonoid and anthocyanin pathways.
