Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:72.85(Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology)We launched a project to overcome the randomness of mutation and to develop logical and efficient mutation breeding by taking advantage of both ion-beam irradiation and genomic information. This research was supported by a five-year grant from the Research and Development Program for New Bio-industry Initiatives of the Bio-oriented Technology Research Advancement Institution (BRAIN). To achieve our purpose, we focused on flower-color mutations, because flavonoid biosynthesis is one of the most well-known molecular mechanisms in higher plants. We envisioned four ideal target plants for mutation breeding. These were glittering carnation, red creeping petunia, and blue-purple and crimson fragrant cyclamen. Several new factors that strongly affect flower color were identified from this project: (1) Non-acylation was found in a glittering carnation petal. (2) A loss-of-function mutation in GST (glutathione S-transferase) caused not only a decrease of pigmentation but also a change in flower color in carnation. (3) Carnation flower color was strongly affected by the function of AA5GT (acyl-glucose dependent anthocyanin 5-glucosyltransferase). (4) Delphinidins caused cyclamen flowers to turn red-purple. (5) A decrease in flavonol metabolism caused increased amounts of pigmentation in cyclamen flowers.

Times Cited Count:33 Percentile:66.96(Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology)Fragrant cyclamen cultivar ( ), that bloomed purple flower containing malvidin 3,5-diglucoside as the major anthocyanin, was irradiated with a 320-MeV carbon-ion beam at 0-16 Gy to increase flower color variation by mutation. Some of the M2 plants derived from self-pollination of M1 plants irradiated at 2 Gy were flower-color mutants that retained desirable flower shape, flower size, and leaf color. One of the mutants bloomed novel red-purple flowers, the major anthocyanin of which was delphinidin 3,5-diglucoside. Because the major anthocyanins in flowers of spp. were previously restricted to malvidin, peonidin, and cyanidin types, the generation of a cyclamen containing mostly the delphinidin-type anthocyanin is an important breakthrough in cyclamen breeding. We expect this mutant to become not only a commercial cultivar itself, but also a valuable genetic resource for cyclamen breeding.

One of the fragrant cyclamens, Kaori-no-mai, blooms purple flowers containing malvidin 3,5-diglucoside as the major anthocyanin. Here, we irradiated etiolated petioles of Kaori-no-mai with a 320-MeV carbon-ion beam to increase flower color variation by mutation. Some of the M2 plants derived from self-pollination of M1 plants were flower-color mutan. One of the mutants bloomed novel red-purple flowers, the major anthocyanin of which was delphinidin 3,5-diglucoside. The major anthocyanins in flowers of spp. were previously restricted to malvidin, peonidin, and cyanidin types, therefore, the generation of a cyclamen containing mostly the delphinidin-type anthocyanin is an important breakthrough in cyclamen breeding. We expect this mutant to become not only a commercial cultivar itself, but also a valuable genetic resource for cyclamen breeding.

In this study, using several flower-colored mutants and their parents, we analyzed flavonoid composition in flowers by HPLC, and isolated anthocyanin biosynthetic genes by degenerate PCR. We isolated several anthocyanin biosynthetic genes from C. graecum, C. purpurascens and fragrant cyclamen cultivars. Then, we analyzed their expression patterns between wild-type and flower-colored mutants. Based on their comparison, we selected candidates for anthocyanin biosynthetic genes and confirmed their enzymatic activities in vitro. Furthermore, we also demonstrated the effectiveness of PCR-based screening method in early growth stage of mutagenized cyclamen, using newly developed DNA markers.
