Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CtCHI1
  • Gene Name: chalcone isomerase1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Carthamus tinctorius

Functional Descriptions:

  • Overexpression of CtCHS1 Increases Accumulation of Quinochalcone in Safflower.
  • Subcellular localization showed that CtCHS1 was localized in cytoplasm in onion epidermal cells.
  • These results suggested that CtCHS1 played an important role in quinochalcone glucosides biosynthesis rather than flavonol biosynthesis.
  • CtCHI1 can negatively and competitively regulate anthocyanins and quercetin pathway branches in tobacco.
  • CtCHI1 can positively regulate flavonol and chalcone metabolic flow in safflower. This research provides some clues to understand CHI’s differential biochemical functional characterization involving in flavonoid pathway. More molecular mechanisms of CHI remain to be explored in the near future.
