A bHLH regulatory gene in the common morning glory, Ipomoea purpurea, controls anthocyanin biosynthesis in flowers, proanthocyanidin and phytomelanin pigmentation in seeds, and seed trichome formation. Park KI, Ishikawa N, Morita Y, Choi JD, Hoshino A, Iida S. Plant J. 2007 Feb;49(4):641-54. ...... the surface of the epidermis without trichomes in the dark-brown seeds looked rougher, due to the protruding tangential walls, than that in the ivory seeds. Although the I. purpurea bHLH2 gene is the most closely related to the petunia AN1 gene, whose mutation is known to confer white flowers and to be deficient in acidification of their vacuoles, the vacuolar alkalization in the epidermal flower limbs of I. purpurea ivs mutants appears to occur normally. These results are ...... |
