Duplicated flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase and flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase genes in barley genome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anthocyanin compounds playing multiple biological functions can be synthesized in different parts of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plant. The diversity of anthocyanin molecules is related with branching the pathway to alternative ways in which dihydroflavonols may be modified either with the help of flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (F3'H) or flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H)-the cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases. The F3'H and F3'5'H gene families are among the least studied anthocyanin biosynthesis structural genes in barley. The aim of this study was to identify and characterise duplicated copies of the F3'H and F3'5'H genes in the barley genome.
