CHS — Glycine max

Summary

GmCHS (GLYMA_05G153200V4) on soybean chromosome 5 encodes a protein with chalcone/stilbene synthase and polyketide synthase type-III domains, and is annotated with chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavanone 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, acyltransferase, SUMO transferase and SUMO binding activities. This gene is associated with seed color, seed coat color and pigmentation, anthocyanin content and production, flavonoid and isoflavonoid metabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, and responses to UV-A, UV-B light, gravity, oxidative stress, drought, salt and nitrogen stress. It has been linked to biomass yield, seed size, root length and morphology, stem elongation, flowering time, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance and opening, chlorophyll content, and root-knot and cyst nematode resistance. The encoded protein localises to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and tonoplast.
