Complex lupulin gland-specific cDNA library from Osvald’s clone 72 hop was constructed to dissect regulation of biosynthetic pathway(s) leading to the accumulation of hop bitter acids and prenylflavonoids with promising health-beneficial activities. From this cDNA library we isolated first hop-specific allelic isoforms of transcription factors (TF) HlbHLH2 and HlWDR1 which are involved in combinatorial control of lightresponsive and tissue-specific activation of phenylpropanoid pathway. HlbHLH2 and HlWDR1 are quite lupulin gland-specific and, according to our transient expression experiments, they form specific complexes with another novel hop TF HlMyb2 and previously isolated lupulin glandspecific HlMyb3. The complex formation leads to strong activation of chalconsynthase gene (chs_H1) promoter. The interplay and regulation of expression of these crucial TF complexes could co-determine the rate of accumulation of valuable metabolites of lupulin.
