CHS — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_5G007730 (MtCHS) encodes a chalcone synthase, a type-III polyketide synthase with chalcone isomerase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavanone 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, and SUMO transferase activities, and is associated with chalcone, polyketide, flavonol, anthocyanin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, as well as auxin polar transport, response to UV-B and gravity, geotropism, fruit ripening, and sumoylation. The gene is linked to traits including seed coat color, fruit color, anthocyanin content, drought and salt stress tolerance, root morphology, flowering time, stomatal opening, and resistance to root-knot and cyst nematodes. 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 circadian regulation.
