CHS — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsCHS (CSA_1G006310) on cucumber chromosome 1 encodes a type III polyketide synthase with exhibiting naringenin-chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 4-reductase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, and tetraketide alpha-pyrone synthase activities. The gene is associated with chalcone, polyketide, flavonoid, anthocyanin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, pigment accumulation, pollen wall assembly, and responses to gravity, hormones, and wound healing. It localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. CsCHS is linked to traits including anthocyanin, carotenoid, and chlorophyll content, fruit length, flowering time, photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, stomatal opening, root morphology, and responses to UV light, oxidative stress, salt, drought, and nematodes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to pollen exine development, male fertility, seed coat pigmentation, and disease resistance.
