ANS — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101511289, designated CaANS (also known as CaLDOX, TT18, TDS4), encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase on chickpea chromosome 8. The product possesses leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities, and binds metal ions and vitamin C. CaANS is associated with the biosynthesis of anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, and coumarins, as well as with regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism and vacuole organization. The gene has been linked to seed coat color, flavonoid content, and UV light sensitivity. It is also connected to responses to wounding, jasmonic acid, and fungal molecules. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanin pigmentation, seed pigmentation, photoprotection, and high light stress tolerance.
