ANS — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS6D02G004300 (ANS) on bread wheat chromosome 6D encodes an Fe2OG dioxygenase domain-containing protein with leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. This gene is associated with anthocyanin, proanthocyanidin, flavonoid, coumarin, and lignin biosynthesis, as well as pigmentation, phenylpropanoid metabolism, vacuole organization, and responses to jasmonic acid, wounding, and fungal molecules. It is linked to anthocyanin content, plant height, UV light sensitivity, oxidative stress response, and powdery mildew disease response. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to grain weight, seed germination, chlorophyll content, heat and cold tolerance, photosynthetic ability, and flavonoid content.
