Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis thaliana L. produces flavonoid pigments, i.e. flavonols, anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins, from dihydroflavonol substrates. A small family of putative flavonol synthase (FLS) genes had been recognized in Arabidopsis, and functional activity was attributed only to FLS1. Nevertheless, other FLS activities must be present, because A. thalianafls1 mutants still accumulate significant amounts of...
