Abstract excerpt
Flavonol 3-O-galactosyltransferase (F3GalTase) is a pollen-specific enzyme which glycosylates the flavonols required for germination in petunia. The highly restricted tissue-specific expression and substrate usage make F3GalTase unique among all other flavonoid glycosyltransferases (GTs) described to date, including the well characterized Bronze 1 (Bz1) gene of maize. RFLP mapping, DNA gel blot, and sequence...
