CHS — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_7G016720 (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. The gene is associated with chalcone, flavonoid, anthocyanin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, as well as responses to UV-B, gravity, and auxin polar transport. It has been linked to traits including fruit and seed coat color, anthocyanin content, drought and salt stress tolerance, root morphology, flowering time, and nematode resistance. The protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flavonoid and glucosinolate biosynthesis, UV-B sensitivity, male fertility, and pathogen response.
