Characterization of a glucosyltransferase enzyme involved in the formation of kaempferol and quercetin sophorosides in Crocus sativus.

UGT707B1 is a new glucosyltransferase isolated from saffron (Crocus sativus) that localizes to the cytoplasm and the nucleus of stigma and tepal cells. UGT707B1 transcripts were detected in the stigma tissue of all the Crocus species analyzed, but expression analysis of UGT707B1 in tepals revealed its absence in certain species. The analysis of the glucosylated flavonoids present in Crocus tepa...

UDP-glucose: glucosyltransferase activity involved in the biosynthesis of flavonol triglucosides in Pisum sativum L. seedlings.

From young, light-grown seedlings of Pisum sativum L. an enzyme activity catalyzing the glucosylation of kaempferol and quercetin in the 3-position to form the 3-0-triglucoside derivative has been demonstrated. The reaction proceeds from the aglycone via the mono- and diglucoside intermediates. The triglucoside can be produced from any of the less substituted derivatives with uridine diphosphat...

Functional Characterization of a Flavonoid Glycosyltransferase in Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis)

Fruits of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), a popular commercial Citrus species, contain high concentrations of flavonoids beneficial to human health. These fruits predominantly accumulate O-glycosylated flavonoids, in which the disaccharides [neohesperidose (rhamnosyl-α-1,2-glucose) or rutinose (rhamnosyl-α-1,6-glucose)] are linked to the flavonoid aglycones through the 3- or 7-hydroxyl sites. T...

Effect of different salinity levels on physiological characteristics, phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity and some flavonoid compounds in hydroponic cultivation of saffron (Crocus sativus L.)

The use of salt tolerant plants in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, including Iran, is one of the ways to achieve high yields. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different salinity treatments in hydroponic culture on physiological characteristics, phenylalanine-ammonialyase (PAL) activity and also the small amount of flavonoid compounds kaepmferol and quercetin in fi...

A flavonoid 3-O-glucoside:2″-O-glucosyltransferase responsible for terminal modification of pollen-specific flavonols in Arabidopsis thaliana

Flavonol 3-O-diglucosides with a 1→2 inter-glycosidic linkage are representative pollen-specific flavonols that are widely distributed in plants, but their biosynthetic genes and physiological roles are not well understood. Flavonoid analysis of four Arabidopsis floral organs (pistils, stamens, petals and calyxes) and flowers of wild-type and male sterility 1 (ms1) mutants, which are defective ...
