Functional and genomic characterization of a wound- and methyl jasmonate-inducible chalcone isomerase in Eremochloa ophiuroides [Munro] Hack
2019, Plant Physiology and BiochemistryCitation Excerpt :Type-I CHIs are found in non-leguminous plants and only isomerize 6′-hydroxychalcone to 5-hydroxyflavanone, whereas type-II CHIs are specialized in legume plants and accept both 6′-hydroxychalcone and 6′-deoxychalcone as substrates to produce 5-hydroxyflavanone and 5-deoxyflavanone, respectively (Fig. 1). The CHI activities of crude proteins and the functional characterizations of CHI complementary DNAs (cDNAs) have been documented in various plant species, including A. thaliana (Shirley et al., 1995), Glycine max (Bednar and Hadcock, 1988), Zea mays (Grotewold and Peterson, 1994), Ipomoea batatas (Guo et al., 2015), Saussurea medusa (Li et al., 2006), Oryza sativa (Shih et al., 2008), Trigonella foenum-graecum (Qin et al., 2011), Ginkgo biloba (Cheng et al., 2011), Citrus sinensis (Fouché and Dubery, 1994), Petunia hybrida (Van Tunen and Mol, 1987), and Pueraria lobata (Terai et al., 1996). Type-II CHIs are most likely present only in leguminous plants, some of which have shown the exceptional genomic feature of having both type-I and type-II CHIs (Kimura et al., 2001), or a gene cluster with four type-I and –II CHIs in Lotus japonicus (Shimada et al., 2003).
