Abstract excerpt
Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR, EC 1.1.1.219) catalyzes the reduction of dihydroflavonols to leucoanthocyanins, a key "late" step in the biosynthesis of anthocyanins. In this study we showed that a strong reduction in DFR expression occurs in the non-red orange cultivar (Navel and Ovale) compared to that of the red orange (Tarocco) suggesting that the enzyme could be involved in the lack of production of...
