Abstract

vinifera (90%) and Camellia chekiangoleosa (92%). Sequence analysis of the second gene revealed that the pepper F3H encodes a protein of 365 amino acids that has high homology with the proteins of eight species: N. tabacum (89%), Petunia x hybrida (88%), S. tuberosum (87%), Solanum lycopersicum (88%), Litchi chinensis (82%), Actinidia chinensis (81%), Citrus maxima (81%) and V. vinifera (82%). The tissue expression analysis indicated that the pepper CHS gene was over-expressed in pericarp, moderately in stem and flower, weakly in leaf and placenta, and hardly expressed in root and seed. The pepper F3H gene was over-expressed in pericarp; weakly in leaf, flower and seed, and hardly expressed in root, stem and placenta. Our experiment established the primary foundation for further research on these two pepper genes.
