Functional properties of an alternative, tissue-specific promoter for rice NADPH-dependent dihydroflavonol reductase.

NADPH-dependent dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) plays an important role in both anthocyanin biosynthesis and proanthocyanidin synthesis in plants. A specific and quantitative RT-PCR assay for transcription from the DFR promoter detected high expression with limited variability in rice tissues. A 440...
