植物花青素生物合成途径相关基因的研究进展

Research Progress of Genes which Relate to the Biosynthetic Pathway of Anthocyanins

花青素是自然界中存在的天然色素。通过基因工程等技术手段可以生产出绿色、健康的保健品、水果及观赏性花卉植物。目前与花青素生物合成相关的基因已通过PCR、蛋白质纯化、转座子标签等技术手段从金鱼草、玉米、矮牵牛等植物中分离且克隆。本研究综述了花青素合成途径相关调节基因和结构基因的研究进展。

Anthocyanins are natural pigments,green health care products,fruit and ornamental flowering plants can be produced by such means as genetic engineering technology.Currently,the genes relate to anthocyanins biosynthesis have successfully been isolated and cloned from Antirrhinum majus,Zea mays,Petunia hybrida and other plants through as PCR,protein purification,transposon tagging,etc.Anthocyanin biosynthesis-related adjustment advances in genetic and structural genes were reviewed.
