An overview of the bitter acid, phenylpropanoids and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways in the hop. The main intermediate compounds are shown with the abbreviation of respective enzymatic steps. Enzyme abbreviations are PAL: phenylalanine ammonia lyase; C4H: cinnamate 4-hydroxylase, 4CL: coumarate coenzyme A ligase, CHS: chalcone synthase, PRT: prenyltransferase; OMT: O-methyltransferases; VPS: valerophenone synthase, BCAT: branched chain aminotransferase; BCKDH: branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase; MO: monooxygenases; CHI: chalcone flavanone isomerase; F3H: flavanone 3-hydroxylase; F3′H, flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase; DFR, dihydroflavonol 4-reductase; FLS: flavonol synthase. OMTI and CHS_H1 represent gene isoforms of O-methyltransferases and chalcone synthase genes, respectively in the hop
