HIDH — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_5G005890 (HIDH) on barrel medic chromosome 5 encodes a protein with 2-hydroxyisoflavanone dehydratase activity, carboxylesterase activity, isomerase activity, and lyase activity, belonging to the alpha/beta hydrolase fold family. The gene is associated with isoflavonoid metabolism, flavonoid anabolism, chalcone anabolism, phenylpropanoid metabolism, alkaloid metabolism, indole alkaloid metabolism, jasmonic acid anabolism, chlorophyll breakdown, defense response, cell death, seed development, cell wall modification, and response to mercury. It is linked to protein content and localizes to the cytosol and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to soluble protein content, flavonoid content, seed coat color, and germination rate.
