Abstract

Using RT-PCR and RACE techniques, flavone synthase Ⅱ (FSⅡ) gene, the key enzyme in synthesize flavone, was cloned in the tea plant. The FS II belongs to cytochrome P450 superfamily. The GenBank Accession No. is FJ169499 in the NCBI. The FSⅡ gene cDNA had 1 824 bp in full-length with 1 605 bp in coding region, encoding 534 amino acids. The putative molecular weight was 60.4 kD. The expression levels of flavone synthaseⅡ gene in spring ‘two and a bud’, mature leaves, petals, stamen and pistils, and seeds of the tea plant were assessed using SYBR Green I Real-time PCR. The expression in mature leaves was significantly higher than that in the other four tissues.
