ANR — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3006G227800 (symbol 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 CH-OH groups. The gene is associated with flavonoid metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, detoxification, and NO storage. Related genes in other species link the family to dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity and flavanone 4-reductase activity.
