Abstract
DNA obtained, for example, from snapdragon or torenia , encoding an enzyme that can convert flavanones directly to flavones, and its uses; the DNA and amino acid sequences for enzymes encoded thereby are listed as SEQ. ID. No. 1 & 2 and 3 & 4, for example. Introduction of the genes into plants can, for example, alter the flower colors of the plants.
Claims (3)
1. An isolated protein comprising SEQ ID NO: 4.
2. An isolated protein consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4.
3. An isolated protein comprising SEQ ID NO: 4, wherein SEQ ID NO: 4 is modified by the addition, deletion, or substitution of one amino acid, and wherein the protein possesses the activity of synthesizing flavones from flavanones.
