Flavonoid pathway intermediates implicate UVR8 in functions beyond canonical UV-B signaling

Nature Communications
Plants integrate light signals to regulate development and produce protective compounds such as flavonoids under excessive light stress. While these metabolites protect against light damage, their roles in modulating photoreceptor responses remain ...

Chalcone isomerase in grape vine: gene expression and localization in the developing fruit

Biologia Plantarum, 2012
Chalcone isomerase (CHI, EC 5.5.1.6) is an entrance enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthesis, which catalyzes the conversion of chalcones to flavanones. In this study, the full-length CHI cDNA from grape vine (Vitis vinifera L.) was cloned, the recombinant ...

Isolation and characterization of a chalcone isomerase gene promoter from potato cultivars

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015
Chalcone isomerase (CHI) is a key enzyme involved in anthocyanin metabolism. Previous research on CHI has mainly focused on cDNA cloning and gene expression. In the current study, the 1425-bp potato CHI promoter (PCP) was isolated from four potato cultivars (Heijingang, Zhongshu 7, Désirée, and Favorita) using PCR and DNA sequencing.

Positive selection sites in tertiary structure of Leguminosae Chalcone isomerase 1

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015
Isoflavonoids and the related synthesis enzyme, chalcone isomerase 1 (CHI1), are unique in the Leguminosae, with diverse biological functions. Among the Leguminosae, the soybean is an important oil, protein crop, and model plant. In this study, we aimed to detect the generation pattern of Leguminosae CHI1.
