Phenylpyruvate Contributes to the Synthesis of Fragrant Benzenoid–Phenylpropanoids in Petunia × hybrida Flowers
Phenylalanine (Phe) is a precursor for a large group of plant specialized metabolites, including the fragrant volatile benzenoid-phenylpropanoids (BPs). In plants, the main pathway leading to production of Phe is via arogenate, while the pathway via phenylpyruvate (PPY) is considered merely an alternative route. Unlike plants, in most microorganisms the only pathway leading to the synthesis of ...
متن کاملGenetic and Biochemical Studies on the Conversion of Dihydroflavonols to Flavonols in Flowers of Petunia hybrida
Dioxygenase, Flavonoid Biosynthesis, Flavonols, Genetic Control, Petunia hybrida Soluble enzyme preparations from flower buds of Petunia hybrida catalyzed the conversion of dihydroflavonols to flavonols. Dihydrokaempferol and dihydroquercetin were readily converted to the respective flavonols, whereas dihydromyricetin was a poor substrate. The reaction required 2-oxoglutarate, ascorbate and Fe2...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Flavonoids from Petunia ×hybrida Flowers Expressing the A1 Gene of Zea mays
The flavonoids from flowers of transgenic Petunia ×hybrida Vilm. plants containing the Al gene from Zea mays L. were characterized. The A1 gene encodes the enzyme dihydroflavonol reductase and was introduced into a mutant petunia defective for this gene. Control, nontransgenic plants produced flowers that contained ≈ 50 ng anthocyanin/ 100 mg tissue dry weight. Anthocyanin distribution was 63% ...
متن کاملDistinct Substrate Specificity of Dihydroflavonol 4-Reductase from Flowers of Petunia hybrida
D ihydroflavonol 4-reductase from Petunia flowers ca ta lyzes the reduction of d ihydroquercetin to leucocyanidin and , in particular, of dihydrom yricetin to leucodelphinid in , w hereas reduction of the simple dihydroflavonol dihydrokaem pferol to leucopelargonidin could not be observed. This special substra te specificity o f d ihydroflavonol 4-re ductase is most p robably the reason for ...
متن کاملThe S-Ribonuclease Gene of Petunia hybrida
To determine the ability of isolated S-locus promoter sequences to direct organ-specific gene expression, we used microprojectile bombardment to introduce chimeric S-allele/&glucuronidase genes into different tissues of Petunia hybrida for transient expression. Histochemical staining showed that S-locus/B-glucuronidase fusions were expressed in pistil, ovary, and petal tissue. No expression of ...
