Proposed flavonol biosynthesis and modification pathway in A. thaliana.
The compounds detected in A. thaliana are given. White arrows indicate proposed but unidentified reactions. The metabolite flavonol 3-O-gentiobioside 7-O-rhamnoside (F3GG7R), which is in the focus of this paper, is shown in the white box. CHI, chalcone isomerase; CHS, chalcone synthase; DFR, dihydroflavonol reductase; F3AraT, flavonol 3-O-arabinosyltransferase; F3H, flavanone 3-hydroxylase; F3RhaT, flavonol 3-O-rhamnosyltransferase; F3′H, flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase; F7GlcT, flavonol 7-O-glucosyltransferase; F7RhaT, flavonol 7-O-rhamnosyltransferase; Fd3GGlcT, flavonoid 3-O-glucoside glucosyltransferase; Fd3GlcT, flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase; FLS, flavonol synthase; LDOX, leucoanthocyanidin reductase (anthocyan synthase); OMT1, O-methyltransferase1. Modified according to Saito et al. (2013) and Stracke et al. (2010), and incorporating data from Yonekura-Sakakibara et al. (2014).
