| Research Abstract |
The pigment production in plants is not only of great interest to many people but of importance agronomically. So far, it has been revealed that the biosynthesis of a major pigment, anthocyanin is regulated transcriptionally by the induction of biosynthetic genes. In this study, a novel mechanism of anthocyanin regulation was analyzed by using a new anthocyanin mutant that was found in a library of transgenic Arabidopsis expressing rice genes. The results of this study indicate that the first enzyme of anthocyanin biosynthesis, chalcone synthase is regulated at the protein level by an F-box protein.
