CHS — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3002G310600 (CHS) on sorghum chromosome 2 encodes a protein with chalcone/stilbene synthase and polyketide synthase type III domains. The enzyme exhibits naringenin-chalcone synthase, flavonol synthase, and chalcone isomerase activities, among others. This gene is associated with flavonoid, anthocyanin, and polyketide biosynthesis, as well as UV protection, pigmentation, pollen wall assembly, and nitrogen fixation. It is linked to traits including seed coat color, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, flowering time, root morphology, and UV light sensitivity. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and tonoplast. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to pollen exine development, male fertility, sporopollenin biosynthesis, and flavonoid production.
