Molecular and biochemical characterization of three anthocyanin synthetic enzymes from Gentiana triflora

Plant Cell Physiol. 1996 Jul;37(5):711-6. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.pcp.a029004.

Abstract

Full length cDNA clones of flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase, dihydroflavonol 4-reductase and flavonoid 3-glucosyltransferase were cloned from petals of Gentiana triflora. Their sequences were homologous to counterparts from other plants. Flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase and flavonoid 3-glucosyltransferase were enzymatically characterized by expressing cDNAs in heterologous expression systems.
