Abstract

In this study, we conducted the cloning and sequencing gene encoding FLS from the two green and purple Trung Du tea cultivars. The length of FLS gene is 996 bp, encodes 331 amino acid. Results of FLS gene analysis showed that green and purple Trung Du cultivars has 13 nucleotide variants total as compare with FLS sequence published on Genbank. Nucleotide sequence differences lead to change amino acid sequence of key functional motives in FLS like motif characterizes the 2OG-Fe (II) oxygenase superfamily, the PxxxIRxxx-EQP motif at the N-terminal (18→29) determines the FLS activity, the CPQ/RPxLAL motif) is the binding site of 2-oxoglutarate. How amino acid position changes affect FLS activity need further research. FLS gene isolates are sources for further research to aim elucidating the function of this enzyme.


Keywords: Green Trung Du, purple Trung du, Flavonol, Flavonol synthase, polyphenol.
