Chalcone Isomerase a Key Enzyme for Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Ophiorrhiza japonica
Anthocyanins are distributed ubiquitously to terrestrial plants and chalcone isomerase (CHI) catalyzes the stereospecific isomerization of chalcones – a committed step in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway. In this study, one gene encoding CHI was isolated from Ophiorrhiza japonica and designated...
