Abstract:
1. A transformed plant cell containing a recombinant vector containing a nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of: (i) the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or a nucleotide sequence which is degenerate with respect to SEQ ID NO:1; (ii) a nucleotide sequence which is identical to SEQ ID NO:1 except that it has deletions, substitutions or additions of one or more bases; and (iii) a nucleotide sequence hybridizable under stringent conditions with a nucleotide sequence complementary to the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1; wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a protein having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 2 and having activity for vacuolar compartmentalization of proanthocyanidins in plant cells.
