Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CsDFRa
  • Gene Name: dihydroflavonol 4-reductase
  • Genome:
  • Species: Camellia sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

  • Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that the two amino acid residues S117 and T123 of CsDFRa play a prominent role in controlling DFR reductase activity.
  • Previous studies have indicated that CsDFRa is a key gene for the regulation of catechin content in tea plants.
  • CsDFRa and CsDFRc overexpression in AtDFR mutants (tt3) revealed that CsDFRs are involved in the biosynthesis of anthocyanins and PAs, as CsDFRa and CsDFRc restored not only the purple petiole phenotype but also the seed coat color.
  • Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that the two amino acid residues S117 and T123 of CsDFRa play a prominent role in controlling DFR reductase activity.
  • CsDFRa and CsDFRc not only restored the purple petiole phenotype but also recovered the seed coat color of the tt3 mutant when compared with tt3 and CsDFRb1 transgenic linesx.
