CHS — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_018999 (DcCHS) on carrot chromosome 5 encodes a protein with chalcone/stilbene synthase and polyketide synthase type-III domains. It is annotated with tetraketide alpha-pyrone synthase, chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, flavanone 4-reductase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, acyltransferase, SUMO transferase, SUMO binding, kinase binding, protein homodimerization, and protein binding activities. The gene is associated with chalcone, polyketide, flavonoid, anthocyanin, and flavonol biosynthesis, pollen wall assembly, regulation of phenylpropanoid and anthocyanin metabolism, sumoylation, translation elongation, and responses to UV, UV-B, gravity, jasmonic acid, and heat acclimation. It is linked to anthocyanin content, flavonoid content, root morphology, root phototropism, stamen morphology, flowering time, photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, stomatal opening, oxidative stress response, salt stress tolerance, drought tolerance, nitrogen stress tolerance, root-knot nematode resistance, male sterility, and pollen exine development.
