چکیده

Anthocyanins, Flavonoids, Biosynthesis, Flavonoid 3',5'-Hydroxylation, Verbena hybrida Enzyme preparations from flowers of Verbena hybrida do not only catalyse hydroxylation of the B-ring of flavanones and dihydroflavonols in the 3'-position but also in the 5'-position. Enzyme activity for 3',5'-hydroxylation was found to be localized in the microsomal fraction and required NADPH as cofactor. Evidence is provided that the formation of the 3',4\5'hydroxylated flavanone (5,7,3',4',5'-pentahydroxyflavanone) and dihydroflavonol (dihydromyricetin), respectively, proceeds via the corresponding 3',4'-hydroxylated compounds eriodictyol and dihydroquercetin, respectively, which are most probably formed by action of the same enzyme. Enzyme activity for 3',5'-hydroxylation was found to be strictly correlated with the prescence of 3',4',5'-hydroxylated flavonoid compounds in the flowers.

Studies on Columnidin Biosynthesis with Flower Extracts from Columnea hybrida

Columnidin, the characteristic 3-deoxyanthocyanidin of some Columnea species, possesses the 3',4'-B-ring hydroxylation pattern of luteolinidin and an additional hydroxyl group at the A-ring, most likely in the 8-position. Studies on substrate specificity of chalcone synthase and flavanone 4-reductase and the demonstration of high flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase activity revealed that the 3'-hydroxyl g...

Anthocyanins, Flavonoids, Biosynthesis, Flavanon 3-Hydroxylase, Flavonoid 3'-Hydroxylase, Matthiola incana Enzyme preparations from flowers of defined genotypes o f Matthiola incana contain two dif­ ferent hydroxylases for hydroxylation of naringenin in the 3and 3'-position, respectively. The 3-hydroxylase is a soluble enzyme and requires as cofactors 2-oxoglutarate, Fe2+ and ascorbate. Besides...

Generation of blue chrysanthemums by anthocyanin B-ring hydroxylation and glucosylation and its coloration mechanism

Various colored cultivars of ornamental flowers have been bred by hybridization and mutation breeding; however, the generation of blue flowers for major cut flower plants, such as roses, chrysanthemums, and carnations, has not been achieved by conventional breeding or genetic engineering. Most blue-hued flowers contain delphinidin-based anthocyanins; therefore, delphinidin-producing carnation, ...

Homologues of the flavonoid 3 ,5 -hydroxylase (F3 5 H) gene, a key gene determining flower color, were obtained from a Verbena hybrida (verbena) cultivar Temari Violet, verbena cultivar Tapien Pink, and Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea). The expression of the Temari and butterfly pea homologues in yeast confirmed that they encoded F3 5 H. The two genes under the control of an enhanced cauliflow...
