23 Jul METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF CHRYSANTHEMUM PLANT HAVING PETALS CONTAINING MODIFIED ANTHOCYANIN
Abstract
Disclosed are: a method for controlling a flavonoid synthesis system in a chrysanthemum or non-chrysanthemum plant by means of a genetic engineering technology using a transcription regulation region that is useful for altering the colors of flowers; a method for modifying anthocyanin; a method for producing a chrysanthemum or non-chrysanthemum plant having petals containing a modified anthocyanin; and a chrysanthemum or non-chrysanthemum plant having the regulation region introduced therein, a progeny or a vegetative proliferation product of the plant, or a part or a tissue of the plant, the progeny or the vegetable proliferation product. In the methods, an expression vector or cassette carrying a nucleic acid comprising a transcription regulation region for a perilla anthocyanin 3-acyltransferase gene (e.g., a nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:1) or a transcription regulation region for a pansy F3’5’H gene (e.g., a nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:15) is used.
