CHS — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_08G110420V4 (GmCHS) on soybean chromosome 8 encodes a chalcone synthase family protein with chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, flavanone 4-reductase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, acyltransferase, SUMO transferase, and SUMO binding activities. The gene is associated with regulation of flavonoid and chalcone anabolism, isoflavonoid metabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, and responses to UV-A and gravity. It has been linked to flower, seed coat, and seed color, seed thickness and size, sucrose content, biomass yield, chlorophyll content, anthocyanin content, root length and morphology, stem elongation, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance and opening, flowering time, and abiotic stress responses including salt, drought, UV-B, and oxidative stress. Associations also include root-knot nematode resistance, pathogen response, and nitrogen stress tolerance. The protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast.
