Abstract
The present invention relates to nucleic acids encoding flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes, more particularly flavonoid biosynthesis-regulating transcription factors, and the use thereof for the modification of flavonoid biosynthesis in plants. The present invention also relates to constructs and vectors including such nucleic acids, and related polypeptides. More particularly, the present invention relates to a PURPLE ANTHOCYANIN PIGMENT 1 (PAP1) or PAP1-like transcription factor.
Claims12
A substantially purified or isolated nucleic acid or nucleic acid fragment encoding a PURPLE ANTHOCYANIN PIGMENT 1(PAP 1) or a PAP 1-like protein, or complementary or antisense to a sequence encoding a PAP 1 or PAP 1-like protein, selected from the group consisting of (a) Sequence ID Nos:
- 1and 3;
- (b) complements of the sequences recited in (a);
- (c) sequences antisense to the sequences recited in (a) and (b);
- (d) functionally active fragments of the sequences recited in (a), (b) and (c) having a size of at least 60 nucleotides;
- and (e) functionally active variants of the sequences recited in (a), (b) and (c) having at least 90% identity with the sequences recited in (a), (b) or (c).
A substantially purified or isolated PAP1 or PAP1-like polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of Sequence ID Nos:
- 2 and 4;
- and functionally active variants having at least 90% identity with SEQ ID No:
- 2 or 4.
