To complete the metabolic map for an entire class of compounds, it is essential to identify gene-metabolite correlations of a metabolic pathway. We used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to identify the flavonoids produced by Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type and flavonoid biosynthetic mutant lines. The structures of 15 newly identified and eight known flavonols were deduced by LC-MS...

A new acylated flavonol glycoside was isolated from the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica along with two known flavonol glycosides. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic investigation.

Deep supercooling xylem parenchyma cells (XPCs) in Katsura tree contain flavonol glycosides with high supercooling-facilitating capability in solutions containing the ice nucleation bacterium (INB) Erwinia ananas, which is thought to have an important role in deep supercooling of XPCs. The present study, in order to further clarify the roles of these flavonol glycosides in deep supercooling of ...

from the aerial parts of tanacetum balsamita l. (compositae) a flavonol aglycon was iso­lated using chromatographic techniques. the structure of this compound was determined using spectroscopic methods (uv, h-nmr and ms) as 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxy flavonol (quercetin).

The ACT STATIS method, a multi-table comparison, was applied to 62 Rosa species to be clustered into four sections (Carolinae, Cinnamomeae, Pimpinellifoliae and Synstylae); the data sets were dealing with morphology (15 criteria), anthocyanin pattern (10 compounds), flavonol heteroside pattern (26 compounds) and superoxide dismutase isozyme (SOD) polymorphism (11 bands). This method appeared ve...

Haveria spp. accumulate flavonol sulfate esters whose biosynthesis i s catalyzed by a number of position-specific flavonol sulfotransferases. Although the accumulation of sulfated flavonols appears to be tissue specific and developmentally regulated and to vary among related species, little i s known about the mechanism of regulation controlling the synthesis of these metabolites. In the presen...

Flavonols are colourless secondary metabolites, primarily regarded as UV-protection pigments that are deposited in plants in their glycosylated forms. The glycosylation of flavonols is mainly catalysed by UDP-sugar-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs). Although the structures of flavonol glycosides accumulating in Arabidopsis thaliana are known, many genes involved in the flavonol glycosylation...

The genes MYB11, MYB12 and MYB111 share significant structural similarity and form subgroup 7 of the Arabidopsis thaliana R2R3-MYB gene family. To determine the regulatory potential of these three transcription factors, we used a combination of genetic, functional genomics and metabolite analysis approaches. MYB11, MYB12 and MYB111 show a high degree of functional similarity and display very si...
