Molecular characterization of chalcone isomerase (CHI) regulating flower color in herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.)

Chalcone isomerase (CHI) is a key enzyme that converts yellow chalcone to colorless naringenin, playing an important regulatory role in color formation of ornamental flowers. We determined the coding sequence of CHI in herbaceous peony using rapid-amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology, and su...
