Popis: | Anthocyanins play important role in plant protection and were closely involved with the plant evolution. Anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) is a late key enzyme in the flavonoid pathway which can catalyze leucoanthocyanidins to anthocyanidins. By our study, we found a miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE) inserting in the promoter of ANS gene of mulberry. We used strawberry to evaluate the activities of ANS promoters from Morus alba and Morus notabilis with the method of Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression. The expression patterns of different promoters were also analyzed in transgenic lines of Arabidopsis thaliana and in this study, GUS was used as reporter gene. The 564-bp MITE insertion was strongly required for the activities of ANS promoter and it may reprogram the expression profiles of ANS gene in mulberry. Our results suggested that the MITE insertion was probably involved in either domestication or natural selection. |
