CHS — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlCHS (SOLYC01G090600.4) encodes a type III polyketide synthase with chalcone/stilbene synthase domains, annotated with naringenin-chalcone synthase, trihydroxystilbene synthase, tetraketide alpha-pyrone synthase, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 4-reductase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavonol synthase, acyltransferase, SUMO transferase, and kinase binding activities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, flavonoid, polyketide, chalcone, melanin, beta-carotene, and carotene biosynthesis, as well as cytokinin catabolism, chlorophyll upregulation, pigment accumulation, and responses to UV-A, UV-B, gravity, and oxidative stress. It is linked to fruit firmness, lycopene, neoxanthin, and chlorophyll content, leaf thickness, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance and opening, root length and morphology, flowering time, stamen morphology, pollen exine development, male sterility, parthenocarpic fruit development, and tolerance to salt, drought, nitrogen stress, high-intensity light, and root-knot nematodes. The protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, ER, and tonoplast.
