Résumé

Anthocyanins are important flavonoid pigments in plants. Malonyl CoA is an important intermediate in anthocyanin synthesis, and citrate, formed by citrate synthase (CS) catalysing oxaloacetate, is the precursor for the formation of malonyl-CoA. CS is composed of two isoforms, mitochondrial citrate synthase (mCS), a key enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and citrate synthase (CSY) localizated in microbodies in plants. However, no CS isoform involvement in anthocyanin synthesis has been reported. In this study, we identified the entire CS family in petunia (Petunia hybrida): PhmCS, PhCSY1 and PhCSY2. We obtained petunia plants silenced for the three genes. PhmCS silencing resulted in abnormal development of leaves and flowers. The contents of citrate and anthocyanins were significantly reduced in flowers in PhmCS-silenced plants. However, silencing of PhCSY1 and/or PhCSY2 did not cause a visible phenotype change in petunia. These results showed that PhmCS is involved in anthocyanin synthesis and the development of leaves and flowers, and that the citrate involved in anthocyanin synthesis mainly derived from mitochondria rather than microbodies in petunia.
