PAL — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_020833 (PAL-1) on carrot chromosome 6 encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.24), an enzyme with ammonia-lyase activity that also exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity and protein dimerization activity. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis, lignin breakdown, salicylic acid breakdown, and cinnamic acid anabolism. It has been linked to root color, anthocyanin content, UV-B tolerance, disease resistance, and responses to wounding, pathogens, and abiotic stresses including drought recovery, chilling, and salt stress. Additional associations include photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, and guard cell differentiation. Related genes in other species are linked to methyl salicylate production, UV stress tolerance, wound-induced suberization, and drought tolerance.
