CHS — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_5G007723 (MtCHS) encodes a chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase with chalcone/stilbene synthase domains, and is annotated with naringenin-chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, and SUMO transferase activities. The gene is associated with flavonoid, anthocyanin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, as well as responses to UV-B, gravity, and auxin polar transport. It is linked to fruit color, seed coat pigmentation, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, root-knot nematode resistance, and flowering time. Localization evidence connects the product to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flavonoid production, UV-B sensitivity, male fertility, and circadian regulation.
