Two nearly full-length chalcone synthase (EC 2.3.1.74) cDNAs, designated CHS2 and CHS9, were isolated from a cDNA library of mRNA prepared from anthocyanin-synthesizing cells of carrot suspension cultures and showed 98% nucleotide sequence identity to each other. The genomic sequence (gCHS2), which corresponds to CHS2, was isolated from a carrot genomic library. Primer extension identified the transcription start site of gCHS2 at 72 bp upstream from the initiation codon ATG, and showed that gCHS2 was activated during anthocyanin synthesis. A chimeric gene carrying the gCHS2 putative promoter sequence from - 2,357 bp to +92 bp connected to the firefly luciferase gene and Nos terminator was introduced by electroporation into protoplasts prepared from anthocyanin-synthesizing carrot cells and the effects of light and 2,4-D on the promoter activity were examined by a transient assay for luciferase activity. Luciferase activity was induced by light exposure in the medium lacking 2,4-D but suppressed by the addition of 2,4-D and/or dark treatment.
