Abstract:

Chalcone synthase(CHS)is the first key enzyme in anthocyanidin synthesis pathway. To explore the CHS expression pattern under different light quality and transcription factor regulation,2 CHS genes(VdCHS2 and VdCHS3)were cloned from Vitis davidii callus,and VdCHS bioinformatics and relative expression by 8 different light quality treatments were conducted. Moreover,CHS promoter cis-acting elements and transcription factor binding sites were predicted. The results showed that VdCHS2 and VdCHS3 were cloned with 1 382 bp and 1 398 bp length,respectively. Both CHS were composed of 2 exons and 1 intron,and they encoded hydrophilic proteins without signal peptide,and were predicted to be cytoplasm-located. Light promoted the expression of VdCHS,which was up-regulated under short wavelength light induction,then down-regulated when its expression level reached a certain level. But long wavelength light inhibited the expression of VdCHS. Total 13 MYB transcription factors targeted at CHS were predicted,and there were 23 MYB recognition and binding elements on the 2 CHS promoters. The above results revealed that light quality affected greatly the expression of CHS. Moreover,13 MYB transcription factors may be involved in CHS transcription regulation in anthocyanidin synthesis of V. davidii.
