Abbreviations: CHS: chalcone synthase; DFR: dihydroflavonol 4-reductase; GT: glucosyltransferase and GST: glutathione S-transferase.
Using the BLASTp algorithm [29].
*AS: assembled sequence. Codes refer to the longest cDNA clone. PACEPE: Passiflora edulis; PACEPS: Passiflora suberosa.
ID/SM: identity/similarity (both based on the amino acid sequence) with the first BLAST hit.
