ANR — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3006G227400, designated ANR on sorghum chromosome 6, encodes an NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase domain-containing protein with anthocyanidin reductase activity, racemase and epimerase activity, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity, flavanone 4-reductase activity, NADP binding, and oxidoreductase activity acting on the CH-OH group of donors with NAD or NADP as acceptor. The gene is associated with flavonoid metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, detoxification, and NO storage. Related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanin and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways.
