Abstract excerpt
Chalcone synthase (CHS) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of diverse flavonoids involved in disease resistance, nodulation, and pigmentation in pea. We describe a multigene family encoding CHS and the effects of two regulatory loci, a and a2, on the pattern of expression of three of its member genes. Two of the genes, CHS1 and CHS3, are expressed in both petal and root tissue, whereas expression of a third...
