Chalcone synthetase is a key and restrictive factor in flavonoids synthesis path way and plays an important role in flower colour formation. In this research, a CHS gene’s cDNA was isolated from chrysanthemum morifolium to provide some basic information for further study in flower colour of Chinese traditional cultivars of chrysanthemum.
Using petals of chrysanthemum as materials, a CHS gene was isolated by the method of RT-PCR and RACE. The gene is 1416bp including a integrate ORF ...
