Abstract
The present invention relates to a nucleic acid isolate comprising a sequence of nucleotides encoding, or complementary to a sequence encoding, a flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase or a functional derivative thereof. The present invention also relates to transgenic plants carrying and/or expressing the above-mentioned nucleic acid material.
Claims6
An isolated nucleic acid encoding an enzyme having flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase activity and capable of hydroxylating dihydrokaempferol (DHK), said isolated nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) an isolated nucleic acid having the nucleic acid sequence substantially as set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 49;
- (b) a nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 49, or a sequence complementary to SEQ ID NO:
- 49, under hybridization washing conditions of 6.times.SSC and 1% w/v SDS at 65.degree. C.;
- and
- (c) a nucleotide sequence which is at least 50% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:49.
