CHS — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_5G007717 (MtCHS) encodes a chalcone synthase family protein with chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavanone 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, SUMO transferase, and SUMO binding activities. It is associated with chalcone, polyketide, flavonol, anthocyanin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, as well as response to UV, gravity, and auxin polar transport. The gene is linked to fruit color, seed coat color, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, root-knot nematode resistance, and flowering time. It localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flavonoid production, UV-B sensitivity, male fertility, and post-transcriptional gene silencing.
