ADCS — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_007G094100 (ADCS, PvADCS) on French bean chromosome 7 encodes a protein with aminodeoxychorismate synthase activity, isochorismate mutase activity, and anthranilate synthase activity, and belongs to the ADC synthase family. The gene is associated with chorismate metabolism, PABA biosynthesis, phylloquinone anabolism, folate biosynthesis, tetrahydrofolate anabolism, tryptophan formation, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, and defense response. The product localizes to the anthranilate synthase complex, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to photochemical quenching and root morphology traits.
