Phytochemistry Reviews, 2011•SpringerAbstract Chalcone synthase (CHS, EC 2.3. 1.74) is a key enzyme of the
flavonoid/isoflavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Besides being part of the plant developmental
program the CHS gene expression is induced in plants under stress conditions such as UV
light, bacterial or fungal infection. CHS expression causes accumulation of flavonoid and
isoflavonoid phytoalexins and is involved in the salicylic acid defense pathway. This review
will discuss CHS and its function in plant resistance.
