Segmental and tandem chromosome duplications led to divergent evolution of the chalcone synthase gene family in Phalaenopsis orchids. [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2019 Background and Aims Orchidaceae is a large plant family, and its extraordinary adaptations may have guaranteed its evolutionary success. Flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites that mediate plant acclimation to challenge environments.

Silencing CHALCONE SYNTHASE in Maize Impedes the Incorporation of Tricin into Lignin and Increases Lignin Content1[OPEN] [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2016 Lignin is a phenolic heteropolymer that is deposited in secondary-thickened cell walls, where it provides mechanical strength. A recent structural characterization of cell walls from monocot species showed that the flavone tricin is part of the native ...

Protection of naringenin chalcone by a pathogenesis-related 10 protein promotes flavonoid biosynthesis in Marchantia polymorpha. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Pathogenesis‐related (PR) proteins are diverse stress‐ or pathogen‐induced proteins. Some are associated with specialised metabolism, including proposed functions for anthocyanin biosynthesis. However, data are limited to a few angiosperm species, and the mode(s) of action are uncertain.
