CHS — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_7G016780 (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. It is associated with chalcone, flavonoid, anthocyanin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, as well as responses to UV-B, 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 link the family to flavonol biosynthesis, UV-B sensitivity, male fertility, and post-transcriptional gene silencing.
