CHS — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_1G098140 (MtCHS) encodes a chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase. The gene product also exhibits chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, dihydroflavonol 4-reductase, flavanone 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, SUMO transferase, SUMO binding, protein tag, kinase binding, and protein binding activities. MtCHS is associated with chalcone anabolism, polyketide anabolism, response to gravity, flavonol biosynthetic process, regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism, virus-induced PTGS, regulation of anthocyanin anabolism, secondary metabolism, auxin polar transport, response to UV, phenylpropanoid anabolism, geotropism, anthocyanin anabolism, fruit ripening, flavonoid anabolism, response to UV-B, and sumoylation. The protein localises to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. MtCHS is linked to fruit color, UV light sensitivity, seed coat color, stamen morphology, root phototropism response, UV-B light sensitivity, plant tissue development, abiotic plant stress response, anthocyanin content, stomatal opening, oxidative stress response, flowering time, plant growth and development, drought tolerance, SALTTL, root morphology, root-knot nematode resistance, anthocyanin production, seed coat pigmentation, salt stress tolerance, nitrogen stress tolerance
