biostudies-literatureUnknown230(6)Auger BAs part of a research programme focused on flavonoid biosynthesis in the seed coat of Brassica napus L. (oilseed rape), orthologs of the BANYULS gene that encoded anthocyanidin reductase were cloned in B. napus as well as in the related species Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea. B. napus genome contained four functional copies of BAN, two originating from each diploid progenitor. Amino acid sequences were highly conserved between the Brassicaceae including B. napus, B. rapa, B. oleracea as well as the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Along the 200 bp in 5' of the ATG codon, Bna.BAN promoters (ProBna.BAN) were conserved with AtANR promoter and contained putative cis-acting elements. In addition, transgenic Arabidopsis and oilseed rape plants carrying the first 230 bp of ProBna.BAN fused Planta1167-83https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC2764081biostudies-literatureBrassica orthologs from BANYULS belong to a small multigene family, which is involved in procyanidin accumulation in the seed.PMC2764081Vautrin SRenard MNesi NAuger BChalhoub BBerges HFautrel ALucas MOBaron CfalseBrassica orthologs from BANYULS belong to a small multigene family, which is involved in procyanidin accumulation in the seed.As part of a research programme focused on flavonoid biosynthesis in the seed coat of Brassica napus L.
