20090293144PLANT NUCLEIC ACIDS ASSOCIATED WITH CELLULAR pH AND USES THEREOF - The present invention relates generally to the field of plant molecular biology and agents useful in the manipulation of plant physiological or biochemical properties. More particularly, the present invention provides genetic and proteinaceous agents capable of modulating or altering the level of acidity or alkalinity in a cell, group of cells, organelle, part or reproductive portion of a plant. Genetically altered plants, plant parts, progeny, subsequent generations and reproductive material including flowers or flowering parts having cells exhibiting an altered cellular pH compared to a non-genetically altered plant are also provided.11-26-2009
20100199384METHOD FOR PRODUCING YELLOW FLOWER BY CONTROLLING FLAVONOID SYNTHETIC PATHWAY - There is provided a gene coding for the amino acid sequence listed as SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 70, for example. Co-expression of the 4′CGT gene and AS gene in a plant lacking natural aurone synthesis ability is carried out to successfully accumulate aurones and alter the flower color to have a yellow tint. In addition to the expression of both genes, the flavonoid pigment synthesis pathway of the host plant itself is inhibited to obtain flowers with a more defined yellow color.08-05-2010
20110055963Stabilization and blueing of anthocyanin pigments using gene encoding aromatic acyltransferase capable of transferring an aromatic acyl group to the 3'-position of anthocyanin - A method of acylating the 3′ position of anthocyanin using an enzyme that transfers an aromatic acyl group to a sugar at the 3′ position of anthocyanin or a gene encoding the enzyme.03-03-2011
20110126320Method for producing rose with altered petal colors - A method for producing a rose characterized by artificially suppressing the rose endogenous metabolic pathway and expressing the pansy gene coding for flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase.05-26-2011

20100143914METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF PRESENCE OF CROSSING WITH CULTIVATED ROSE IN WILD ROSE - Disclosed is a method for determining whether or not a wild rose of interest is crossed with a cultivated rose. The method comprises the steps of: examining whether or not a KSN gene containing a transposon (an indicator) is contained in the rose of interest; and determining that the rose of interest is crossed with a cultivated rose when the individual has the transposon-containing KSN gene.06-10-2010
20100281575ROSE CONTAINING FLAVONE AND MALVIDIN, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention provides a rose characterized by comprising a flavone and malvidin added by a genetic modification method. The flavone and malvidin are typically produced by expression of a transferred flavone synthase gene, pansy flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase gene and anthocyanin methyltransferase gene. The flavone synthase gene is, for example a flavone synthase gene of the family Scrophulariaceae, and specifically it may be the flavone synthase gene of snapdragon of the family Scrophulariaceae, or the flavone synthase gene of 11-04-2010
20100287667ROSE CONTAINING FLAVONE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention provides a rose characterized by comprising a flavone added by a genetic modification method. The flavone is typically produced by expression of a transferred flavone synthase gene. The flavone synthase gene is, for example, a flavone synthase gene of the family Scrophulariaceae, and specifically it may be the flavone synthase gene of snapdragon of the family Scrophulariaceae, or the flavone synthase gene of 11-11-2010
20100287668ROSE CONTAINING FLAVONE AND DELPHINIDIN, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention provides a rose characterized by comprising a flavone and delphinidin added by a genetic modification method. The flavone and delphinidin are typically produced by expression of a transferred flavone synthase gene and flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase gene, respectively. The flavone synthase gene is, for example, a flavone synthase gene of the family Scrophulariaceae, and specifically it may be the flavone synthase gene of snapdragon of the family Scrophulariaceae, or the flavone synthase gene of torenia of the family Scrophulariaceae. The flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase gene is, for example, the pansy (11-11-2010
20100306877FLAVONOID GLUCOSYLTRANSFERASE AND USE OF SAME - A novel flavonoid glucosyltransferase originating from rose, a nucleic acid encoding that enzyme, for example, a flavonoid glucosyltransferase having an amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 2 or SEQ ID NO. 4, a nucleic acid encoding that enzyme, a method for changing the color of a rose flower using that nucleic acid, and a rose plant capable of changing color, are provided.12-02-2010
20100323402UDP-GLUCURONYL TRANSFERASE AND POLYNUCLEOTIDE ENCODING THE SAME - The present invention provides a novel UDP-glucuronosyltransferase and a polynucleotide encoding the same (for example, a polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide consisting of one nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of the nucleotide sequence at positions 1 to 1359 in the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 4, the nucleotide sequence at positions 1 to 1365 in the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 10, the nucleotide sequence at positions 1 to 1371 in the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 12, and the nucleotide sequence at positions 1 to 1371 in the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 22; or a polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide encoding a protein having one amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 5, 11, 13 and 23), etc. This provides a novel UDP-glucuronosyltransferase with a broad substrate specificity.12-23-2010
20120042421PERILLA-DERIVED PROMOTER FUNCTIONING IN PETALS - There is provided a novel promoter useful for altering flow color of plants. The present invention relates to a nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of: 02-16-2012
