Summary

In the petals ofPetunia hybrida a new gene has been analysed. It modifies the flavonol pigments. The influence of this gene could be observed on plants containing quercetin pigments or kaempferol pigments. The glycosides of the two aglycones were identified by the use of preperative paper chromatography and thin-layer chromatography as well as by the use of absorption spektrophotometry. The isolated quercetin pigments are glycosidated with glucose and acylated with protocatechuic acid; the kaempferol pigments are also glucosides, but acylated with p-oxybenzoic acid. For that reason the gene was defined as an acylation gene.

At first time it was possible to show quercetin derivatives with an attached residue at the position 3′. Contemporary to the research of the colorgenes we were able to demonstrate the influence of the intensifier gene and diluted gene ofParis andHaney. Interactions between the geneIn andDil lead to white plants in the progenies of the cross between pigmented Petunias.
