  • Method for production of chrysanthemum plant having delphinidin-containing petals
    Patent number: 9074215
    Abstract: Disclosed are: a method for producing a chrysanthemum plant having delphinidin-containing petals using a transcriptional regulatory region for a chrysanthemum-derived flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) gene; and a chrysanthemum plant, a progeny or a vegetative proliferation product of the plant, or a part or a tissue of the plant, the progeny or the vegetative proliferation product, and particularly a petal or a cut flower of the plant. In the method for producing a chrysanthemum plant having delphinidin-containing petals, a flavonoid 3?,5?-hydroxylase (F3?5?H) is caused to be expressed in a chrysanthemum plant using a transcriptional regulatory region for a chrysanthemum-derived flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) gene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 9, 2010
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2015
    Assignees: Incorporated Adminstrative Agency, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Suntory Holdings Limited
    Inventors: Naonobu Noda, Ryutaro Aida, Sanae Sato, Akemi Ohmiya, Yoshikazu Tanaka
  • Method for producing chrysanthemum plant having petals containing modified anthocyanin
    Patent number: 8871998
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method for controlling flavonoid synthesis in a chrysanthemum plant or non-chrysanthemum plant by genetic recombination technology using a transcriptional regulatory region useful for altering flower color, a method for modifying anthocyanins, a method for producing a chrysanthemum plant or non-chrysanthemum plant containing modified anthocyanins in the petals thereof, and a chrysanthemum plant or non-chrysanthemum plant, progeny thereof, or vegetatively propagated products, part or tissue thereof transformed with the regulatory region. In the method according to the present invention, an expression vector or expression cassette containing a transcriptional regulatory region of perilla anthocyanin 3-acyltransferase gene, such as a nucleic acid containing the nucleotide sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 1, or a transcriptional regulatory region of pansy F3?5?H gene, such as the nucleotide sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 15, is used.
