ANS — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsANS (ANS, LDOX) on chromosome 9 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa) encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, proanthocyanidin, flavonoid and coumarin biosynthesis, pigment accumulation, vacuole organization, and responses to jasmonic acid, wounding and fungal molecules. It is linked to leaf color, anthocyanin and flavonoid content, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, plant width, shoot dry weight and UV light sensitivity. Associations also include cold stress response, seed pigmentation, and ultraviolet radiation tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flower and fruit color, drought tolerance, photoprotection, and high light stress tolerance.
