Abstract excerpt
Flavonoids are the most important pigments for the coloration of flowers and seeds. In plant cells, flavonoids are synthesized by a multi-enzyme complex located on the cytosolic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum, and they accumulate in vacuoles. Two non-exclusive pathways have been proposed to mediate flavonoid transport to vacuoles: the membrane transporter-mediated pathway and the vesicle...
