CHS — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_08G109500V4 (GmCHS, also known as GmTT4) encodes a protein with chalcone/stilbene synthase and polyketide synthase type III domains. The gene product is annotated with chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavanone 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, acyltransferase, SUMO transferase, and SUMO binding activities. GmCHS is associated with the regulation of flavonoid and isoflavonoid metabolism, chalcone and polyketide biosynthesis, phytoalexin production, and responses to UV-A and gravity. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including flower, seed coat, and hilum color, seed size, biomass yield, drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, root-knot nematode resistance, anthocyanin and flavonoid content, chlorophyll content, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, and flowering time. The protein localises to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast.
