Expression of the dihydroflavonol reductase gene in an anthocyanin-free barley mutant.
Hereditas - 1 Jan 1993

Abstract excerpt
The barley gene encoding dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) was delivered by micoprojectile bombardment into leaf sheath tissue of the anthocyanin-free barley mutant ant 18-162, a mutant which lacks DFR activity-probably because of a missense mutation in the structural gene for DFR. The delivered gene complemented the mutation, as evidenced by the synthesis of anthocyanin in individual leaf sheath cells of the...
