Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, to regurate co-pigmentation of anthocyanin and co-pigment in the flower, acylquinic acid biosynthetic genes were isolated and characterized. Acylquinic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins responsible for the flower coloration of chicory, artichoke, hydrangea, and chrysanthemum were ientified. The cDNA homologs encoding hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA: shikimate/quinate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (HCT) and hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA: quinate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (HQT) were cloned from artichoke, chrysanthemum and hydrangea.
