Arabidopsis thaliana lacks the flavone biosynthetic pathway, probably because of a lack or low activity of a flavone synthase. To establish this biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis, we subjected this model plant to transformation with the parsley gene for flavone synthase type I (FNS-I).

Molecular Basis of Overdominance at a Flower Color Locus
Single-gene overdominance is one of the major mechanisms proposed to explain heterosis (i.e., hybrid vigor), the phenomenon that hybrid offspring between two inbred lines or varieties show superior phenotypes to both parents.

Scutellaria baicalensis (S. baicalensis) and Scutellaria barbata (S. barbata) are common medicinal plants of the Lamiaceae family. Both produce specific flavonoid compounds, including baicalein, scutellarein, norwogonin, and wogonin, as well as their ...

Molecular Cloning and Biochemical Characterization of a Novel Cytochrome P450, Flavone Synthase II, that Catalyzes Direct Conversion of Flavanones to Flavones [PDF]
Cytochrome P450 cDNAs, AFNS2 and TFNS5, were isolated from snapdragon and torenia petal cDNA libraries, respectively, based on the sequence homology with licorice CYP93B1 cDNA encoding (2S)-flavanone 2-hydroxylase. They were expressed in yeast and identified to encode flavone synthase II catalyzing direct conversion of flavanones to flavones probably ...

Loss-of-Function Mutation of Soybean R2R3 MYB Transcription Factor Dilutes Tawny Pubescence Color
Pubescence color of soybean is controlled by two genes, T and Td. In the presence of a dominant T allele, dominant and recessive alleles of the Td locus generate tawny and light tawny (or near-gray) pubescence, respectively.

Metalloenzymes are a class of enzymes that catalyze through the metal ions they load. Angelica archangelica flavone synthase I (AnFNS I) and Camellia sinensis flavonol synthase (CaFLS), both of which belong to metalloenzymes, have highly similar ...

Summary Flavonoids are important plant secondary metabolites, which were shown to have antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory or antiviral activities. Heterologous production of flavonoids in engineered microbial cell factories is an interesting alternative to ...

Flavones: From Biosynthesis to Health Benefits
Flavones correspond to a flavonoid subgroup that is widely distributed in the plants, and which can be synthesized by different pathways, depending on whether they contain C- or O-glycosylation and hydroxylated B-ring.
