Dendrobium helix cv. Pomeo Brown is one of the most attractive species in Spatulata section. This orchid is an epiphyte which has clustered stem, elliptic leaves, and erected flowers with brown petals. The brown color of D. helix cv. Pomeo Brown is due to the anthocyanin. Biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanin is regulated by several enzymes, including key enzyme dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) which is encoded by DFR gene. This study aimed to analyze the DFR gene from D. helix cv. Pomeo Brown by PCR using primer which were designed based on Dendrobium moniliforme. The sequences amplified using these primers could not be analyzed. Based on the sequence chromatograph, it can be suggested that the amplified DNA consists of several DFR fragments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
