CHS — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA032229 (symbol CHS, preferred name OiCHS) on Indica rice chromosome 10 encodes an uncharacterized protein with chalcone/stilbene synthase and type III polyketide synthase domains, exhibiting naringenin-chalcone synthase, bisdemethoxycurcumin synthase, acyltransferase, and identical protein binding activities. This gene is associated with regulation of flavonoid anabolism, polyketide anabolism, S phase, metabolic burst, pigmentation, pollen wall assembly, developmental process, regulation of leaf senescence, leaf senescence, and secondary metabolism. It has also been linked to hull color and oxidative stress response. Related genes in other species connect the family to EC 2.3.1.74 and EC 2.3.1.211 activities.
