Isolation and characterization of a maize gene encoding chalcone flavonone isomerase.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 1 Jan 1994

Grotewold E, Peterson T

Abstract excerpt

We report here the first cloning of a chalcone flavonone isomerase gene (CHI) from maize. Northern blot experiments indicate that the maize CHI gene (ZmCHI1) is regulated in the pericarp by the P gene, a myb homologue. The ZmCHI1 gene encodes a 24.3 kDa product 55% and 58% identical to CHI-A and...
