ANS — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaANS (T459_25506) on pepper chromosome 10 encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with jasmonic acid hydrolase, leucocyanidin oxygenase, and flavonol synthase activities. It is associated with anthocyanin, flavonoid, coumarin, and morphine anabolism, as well as regulation of jasmonic acid mediated signaling pathway and defense responses to insects and fungi. The gene is linked to fruit color, anthocyanin and flavonoid content, pollen fertility, photosynthetic rate, and tolerance to biotic stress, drought, and oxidative stress. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to jasmonic acid response and disease resistance. CaANS localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm and is also associated with circadian rhythm, sporulation, and cellular response to toxic substance.
