What is Genetic control of chalcone isomerase activity in anthers of Petunia hybrida about?
The gene Po in pollen of Petunia hybrida Vilm. controls a discrete step in flavonoid biosynthesis. In recessive genotypes, naringenin-chalcone (4, 2',4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone) is accumulated, whereas, under the influence of the wild-type allele flavonols and anthocyanins are formed. Enzymic investigations on anthers of four genetically defined lines with different pollen colouration revealed a clear correlation between accumulation of naringenin-chalcone and deficiency of chalcone isomerase (EC 5.5.1.6). The results allow the conclusion that chalcone is the first product of the flavanone synthase reaction in anthers of Petunia hybrida and that chalcone isomerase is essential for the formation of flavonols and anthocyanins. These results were similar to those previously obtained with Callistephus chinensis (L.) Nees.
