FLS — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC11G013110.2, designated FLS3, encodes a protein with domains including IPNS-like_FE2OG_OXY, DIOX_N, Oxoglu/Fe-dep_dioxygenase, and IPNS-like_sf, and has annotated molecular functions including oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen with 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, leucocyanidin oxygenase activity, naringenin-chalcone synthase activity, flavanone 4-reductase activity, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity, flavonol synthase activity, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activity. In tomato, FLS3 is associated with disease resistance. The gene is linked to a wide range of traits including flavonoid and anthocyanin content, fruit colour, leaf thickness, UV light sensitivity, photosynthetic ability, respiration rate, stomatal resistance, seed dormancy, and responses to bacterial disease, abiotic stress, low temperature, salt, drought, and nitrogen stress. It is also connected to flower development, pollen fertility, root morphology, and insect damage response. Related genes in other species link it to flavonol and glucosinolate biosynthesis, seed coat pigmentation, root gravitropic response, male fertility, and circadian rhythm.
