Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylases (F3'5'Hs) and flavonoid 3'-hydroxylases (F3'Hs) competitively control the synthesis of delphinidin and cyanidin, the precursors of blue and red anthocyanins. In most plants, F3'5'H genes are present in low-copy number, but in grapevine they are highly redundant. RESULTS: The first increase in F3'5'H copy number occurred in the progenitor of the eudicot clade at the time of...
