ANS — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0509790 (symbol ANS) on barley chromosome 5H encodes a protein with an Iron_ascorbate_oxido_reductase domain and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase activity, and is annotated with leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, proanthocyanidin, flavonoid and coumarin biosynthesis, pigmentation, vacuole organisation, and responses to jasmonic acid, wounding and fungal molecules. It localises to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Associations include anthocyanin content, UV light sensitivity, vacuole development, and ultraviolet radiation tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to grain weight, plant height, seed germination, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic ability, heat and cold tolerance, oxidative stress response, and powdery mildew resistance.
