Estimating the term…
The present invention relates generally to a genetic sequence encoding a polypeptide having aromatic acyl group transfer activity and the use of the genetic sequence and/or its corresponding polypeptide thereof. More particularly, the present invention provides a genetic sequence encoding a polypeptide having aromatic acyl group transfer activity derived from Petunia, Nierembergia and Viola spp. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a genetic sequence encoding a polypeptide having aromatic acyl group transferase activity to anthocyanidin-rutinoside. The present invention also provides a genetic sequence encoding a polypeptide having aromatic acyl group transferase activity to anthocyanidin 3-O-rutinoside. The instant invention further relates to antisense and sense molecules corresponding to all or part of the subject genetic sequence as well as genetically modified plants as well as cut flowers, parts and reproductive tissue from such plants.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence of nucleotides encoding or complementary to a sequence encoding an anthocyanidin-rutinoside acyltransferase (AR-AT) molecule or a mutant, part, fragment or portion of said AR-AT or a functional and/or structural equivalent or homologue of said AR-AT.
A genetic construct comprising a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AR-AT molecule or a mutant, part, fragment or portion thereof or a functional and/or structural equivalent or homologue thereof.
A transgenic plant or part thereof or cells therefrom comprising genetic material encoding an AR-AT molecule or a mutant, part, fragment or portion thereof or a functional and/or structural equivalent or homologue thereof.
A method of expressing a nucleotide sequence encoding an AR-AT molecule or a mutant, part, fragment or portion thereof or a functional and/or structural equivalent or homologue thereof in a plant or cells of a plant, said method comprising introducing into said plant or cells of said plant a genetic construct wherein said construct comprises a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AR-AT molecule or a mutant, part, fragment or portion thereof or a functional and/or structural equivalent or homologue thereof.
Use of a genetic construct comprising an AR-AT molecule or a mutant, part, fragment or portion thereof or a functional and/or structural equivalent or homologue thereof in the manufacture of a plant or cells of a plant, wherein said AR-AT molecule or a mutant, part, fragment or portion thereof or a functional and/or structural equivalent or homologue thereof enhances, modulates or otherwise facilitates expression of genetic material encoding an AR-AT molecule.
