Functional study of CHS gene family members in citrus revealed a novel CHS gene affecting the production of flavonoids

Abstract Background Citrus flavonoids are considered as the important secondary metabolites because of their biological and pharmacological activities. Chalcone synthase (CHS) is a key enzyme that catalyses the first committed step in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. CHS genes have been isolated...
