CHS — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3005G107800 (symbol CHS) on sorghum chromosome 5 encodes a chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase with naringenin-chalcone synthase activity, acyltransferase activity, and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with flavonoid and polyketide biosynthesis, pigmentation, UV protection, pollen wall assembly, nitrogen fixation, and nitric oxide storage, and its product localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. Related genes in other species link this family to the enzyme class EC 2.3.1.74.
