Lipophilic flavones with several methoxyl residues occur in various clades of land plants,
from liverworts to core eudicots. Their chemodiversity is mediated by the manifold …

Lipophilic flavonoids found in the Lamiaceae exhibit unusual 6-and 8-hydroxylations whose
enzymatic basis is unknown. We show that crude protein extracts from peltate trichomes of …

Polymethoxylated flavonoids occur in a number of plant families, including the Lamiaceae.
To date, the metabolic pathways giving rise to the diversity of these compounds have not …

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 …

Flavonols, phenylalanine-derived secondary metabolites, have protective and regulatory
functions in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, they are consecutively glycosylated at their 3-OH …

Within the secondary metabolite class of flavonoids which consist of more than 9000 known
structures, flavones define one of the largest subgroups. Their natural distribution is …

Background Flavonoids, one of the major groups of secondary metabolites, play important
roles in the physiology, ecology and defence of plants. Their wide range of activities is the …

During the course of evolution of land plants, different classes of flavonoids, including
flavonols and anthocyanins, sequentially emerged, facilitating adaptation to the harsh …

Regioselective 6-, 7-, 8-, 3′-, and 4′-O-methylations underlie the structural diversity of
lipophilic flavones produced in the trichomes of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The …

The partially purified O-methyltransferase (OMT) system of Chrysosplenium americanum
was found to catalyse the stepwise O-methylation of quercetin to its mono-, di-and trimethyl …
