Patent ID: 7173164

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence of nucleotides encoding or complementary to a sequence encoding an anthocyanidin-rutinoside acyltransferase (AR-AT) molecule, said nucleic acid molecule having the nucleotide sequence comprising: (i) a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; (ii) a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity over the full length of SEQ ID NO: 1; (iii) a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under high stringency conditions to SEQ ID NO: 1 or its complementary form; (iv) a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2; (v) a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence having at least about 90% sequence identity over the full length of SEQ ID NO: 2; or (vi) a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under high stringency conditions to the nucleotide sequence in (iv) or (v) or its complementary form; wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes an AR-AT molecule having AR-AT activity.
