Genes coding for proteins having acyl transfer activity

摘要

Proteins having an aromatic-acyltransferase activity; a gene system coding for the same; a process for producing the proteins using the gene system; and uses of the genes and the proteins. The genes and the proteins acylate plant pigments such as anthocyanin to thereby cause color tone changes, thus providing plants, particularly flowers, having colors that have not been inherent therein.
