dihydroquercetin/zea mays

A full-length cDNA clone encoding barley dihydroflavonol-4-reductase was isolated from a kernel-specific cDNA library by screening with the cDNA of the structural gene (A1) for this enzyme from maize. Subsequently, the gene corresponding to the barley dihydroflavonol-4-reductase cDNA was cloned and

Petunia hybrida is one of the classical subjects of investigation in plants in which the pathway of anthocyanin biosynthesis has been analysed genetically and biochemically. In petunia cyanidin- and delphinidin-derivatives, but no pelargonidin-derivatives are produced as pigments. This is due to the

Flavonols are important compounds for conditional male fertility in maize (Zea mays) and other crops, and they also contribute to protecting plants from UV-B radiation. However, little continues to be known on how maize and other grasses synthesize flavonols, and how flavonol biosynthesis is
