Abstract
Chalcone synthase in leaves of Kalanchoe daigremontiana and Acorus cal amus, and in phyllodes of Kalanchoe tubiflora was detected both enzyma tically and immunochemically. In situ localization by indirect immunof luorescence revealed that, in all three systems, chalcone synthase is highly expressed in tannin-containing idioblasts. In A. calamus the en zyme is additionally present in oil cells. The spatial distribution of chalcone synthase did not change during organ development.
