CHS — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsCHS (LSAT_V11C200065370) on chromosome 2 of garden lettuce encodes a chalcone/stilbene synthase family protein with polyketide synthase type-III domains and exhibits naringenin-chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, and multiple flavonoid-related enzyme activities. The gene is associated with chalcone, flavonoid, anthocyanin, and polyketide biosynthesis, as well as responses to UV-B, jasmonic acid, gravity, and heat acclimation. It is linked to traits including anthocyanin content, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, shoot fresh weight, flowering time, root morphology, and abiotic stress responses such as salt and drought tolerance. Associations also connect it to pollen exine development, male sterility, root-knot nematode resistance, and seed coat pigmentation. The protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast.
