Abstract
The relation between four methylation genes (Mt1, Mt2, Mf1 and Mf2) in flowers of Petunia hybrida and anthocyanin-methyltransferase activity was investigated in vitro. All genes controlled methyltransferase activity. This activity was measured with cyanidinnd petunidin-derivatives as substrates. A cross provided evidence that the Mf-genes regulate methyltransferases which are distinct from those controlled by the Mtgenes. Different effects of the two Mf-genes in vivo are shown. The results suggest that the four methylationgenes control four different methyltransferases.Entities:
