CHS — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_08G110500V4 (GmCHS) encodes a chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase. The enzyme 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 seed coat colour, anthocyanin content, flavonoid metabolism, isoflavonoid metabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, and responses to UV-A and UV-B light. The gene is linked to seed size, biomass yield, drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, root length, flowering time, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, and root-knot nematode resistance. It localises to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and tonoplast, and is associated with regulation of flavonoid and polyketide anabolism.
