Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CsANRa
  • Gene Name: Camellia sinensis Anthocyanidin reductasea
  • Genome: TeaPGDB V1.0 since 2020
  • Species: Camellia sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

  • Camellia sinensis ANRa (CsANRa), leucoanthocyanidin reductase c (CsLARc), and CsMYB5b (a transcription factor) were independently overexpressed for successful PA engineering in tobacco.The EOM ether was remarkably increased in CsANRa and CsMYB5b transgenic flowers. Two EOM and two COM ethers associated with PA biosynthesis.
  • Moreover, an incubation of (−)-epicatechin or (+)-catechin with epicatechin carbocation in CsANRa transgenic flower extracts formed dimeric procyanidin B1 or B2, demonstrating the role of flavan-3-ol carbocation in the formation of PAs.
  • The EOM ether was remarkably increased in CsANRa and CsMYB5b transgenic flowers. Further metabolic profiling for eight green tea tissues revealed two EOM and two COM ethers associated with PA biosynthesis.
