Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a genetic sequence encoding a polypeptide having aromatic acyl group transfer activity and the use of the genetic sequence and/or its corresponding polypeptide thereof. More particularly, the present invention provides a genetic sequence encoding a polypeptide having aromatic acyl group transfer activity derived from Petunia, Nierembergia and Viola spp. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a genetic sequence encoding a polypeptide having aromatic acyl group transferase activity to anthocyanidin-rutinoside. The present invention also provides a genetic sequence encoding a polypeptide having aromatic acyl group transferase activity to anthocyanidin 3-O-rutinoside. The instant invention further relates to antisense and sense molecules corresponding to all or part of the subject genetic sequence as well as genetically modified plants as well as cut flowers, parts and reproductive tissue from such plants.
