Analysis of flavonoids in flower petals of soybean near-isogenic lines for flower and pubescence color genes

W1, W3, W4, and Wm genes control flower color, whereas T and Td genes control pubescence color in soybean. W1, W3, Wm, and T are presumed to encode flavonoid 3'5'-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.88), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (EC 1.1.1.219), flavonol synthase (EC 1.14.11.23), and flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.21), respectively. The objective of this study was to determine the structure of the primary anthocyanin, flavonol, and dihydroflavonol in flower petals. Primary component of anthocyanin in purple flower cultivars Clark (W1W1 w3w3 W4W4 WmWm TT TdTd) and Harosoy (W1W1 w3w3 W4W4 WmWm tt TdTd) was malvidin 3,5-di-O-glucoside with delphinidin 3,5-di-O-glucoside as a minor compound. Primary flavonol and dihydroflavonol were kaempferol 3-O-gentiobioside and aromadendrin 3-O-glucoside, respectively. Quantitative analysis of near-isogenic lines (NILs) for flower or pubescence color genes, Clark-w1 (white flower), Clark-w4 (near-white flower), Clark-W3w4 (dilute purple flower), Clark-t (gray pubescence), Clark-td (near-gray pubescence), Harosoy-wm (magenta flower), and Harosoy-T (tawny pubescence) was carried out. No anthocyanins were detected in Clark-w1 and Clark-w4, whereas a trace amount was detected in Clark-W3w4. Amount of flavonols and dihydroflavonol in NILs with w1 or w4 were largely similar to the NILs with purple flower suggesting that W1 and W4 affect only anthocyanin biosynthesis. Amount of flavonol glycosides was substantially reduced and dihydroflavonol was increased in Harosoy-wm suggesting that Wm is responsible for the production of flavonol from dihydroflavonol. The recessive wm allele reduces flavonol amount and inhibits co-pigmentation between anthocyanins and flavonols resulting in less bluer (magenta) flower color. Pubescence color genes, T or Td, had no apparent effect on flavonoid biosynthesis in flower petals.     

Biochemical and molecular characterization of flavonoid 7-sulfotransferase from Arabidopsis thaliana

Flavonoid compounds play important roles as flower pigments, stress metabolites formed in response to UV, during pollen germination and for polar auxin transport (Trends Plant Sci. 1 (1996) 377). Flavonoid sulfate esters are common in plants, especially the Asteraceae; however, due to the lack of information regarding the factors that regulate their accumulation, their exact role remains to be elucidated. The biosynthesis of flavonol sulfate esters is catalyzed by a number of position specific flavonol sulfotransferases (STs). An Arabidopsis thaliana database search has allowed us to identify and classify 18 putative ST coding sequences. We report here the cloning and characterization of the AtST3a member of this family that is expressed at early stages of seedling development and in the inflorescence stem and siliques of mature plants. The recombinant AtST3a protein exhibits strict specificity for position 7 of flavonoids. In contrast to previously characterized flavonol 7-ST from Flaveria bidentis that sulfonates only flavonol disulfates, AtST3a was found to accept as substrates a number of flavonols and flavone aglycones, as well as their monosulfate esters. The discovery of a flavonol ST from A. thaliana suggests that flavonol sulfates are more widely distributed than originally believed and this model plant could be used to study their biological significance.     

Perianth bottom-specific blue color development in Tulip cv. Murasakizuisho requires ferric ions

The entire flower of Tulipa gesneriana cv. Murasakizuisho is purple, except the bottom, which is blue. To elucidate the mechanism of the different color development in the same petal, we prepared protoplasts from the purple and blue epidermal regions and measured the flavonoid composition by HPLC, the vacuolar pH by a proton-selective microelectrode, and element contents by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) method. Chemical analyses revealed that the anthocyanin and flavonol compositions in both purple and blue colored protoplasts were the same; delphinidin 3-O-rutinoside (1) and major three flavonol glycosides, manghaslin (2), rutin (3) and mauritianin (4). The vacuolar pH values of the purple and blue protoplasts were 5.5 and 5.6, respectively, without any significant difference. However, the Fe(3+) content in the blue protoplast was approximately 9.5 mM, which was 25 times higher than that in the purple protoplasts. We could reproduce the purple solution by mixing 1 with two equimolar concentrations of flavonol with lambda(vismax) = 539 nm, which was identical to that of the purple protoplasts. Furthermore, addition of Fe(3+) to the mixture of 1-4 gave the blue solution with lambda(vismax) = 615 nm identical to that of the blue protoplasts. We have established that Fe(3+) is essential for blue color development in the tulip.     

The Flavonoid Pathway Regulates the Petal Colors of Cotton Flower

Although biochemists and geneticists have studied the cotton flower for more than one century, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the dramatic color change that occurs during its short developmental life following blooming. Through the analysis of world cotton germplasms, we found that all of the flowers underwent color changes post-anthesis, but there is a diverse array of petal colors among cotton species, with cream, yellow and red colors dominating the color scheme. Genetic and biochemical analyses indicated that both the original cream and red colors and the color changes post-anthesis were related to flavonoid content. The anthocyanin content and the expression of biosynthesis genes were both increased from blooming to one day post-anthesis (DPA) when the flower was withering and undergoing abscission. Our results indicated that the color changes and flavonoid biosynthesis of cotton flowers were precisely controlled and genetically regulated. In addition, flavonol synthase (FLS) genes involved in flavonol biosynthesis showed specific expression at 11 am when the flowers were fully opened. The anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) genes, which are responsible for proanthocyanidins biosynthesis, showed the highest expression at 6 pm on 0 DPA, when the flowers were withered. Light showed primary, moderate and little effects on flavonol, anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis, respectively. Flavonol biosynthesis was in response to light exposure, while anthocyanin biosynthesis was involved in flower color changes. Further expression analysis of flavonoid genes in flowers of wild type and a flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) silenced line showed that the development of cotton flower color was controlled by a complex interaction between genes and light. These results present novel information regarding flavonoids metabolism and flower development.     

The identification of poinsettia cultivars by HPLC analysis of their flavonol content

The flavonols from each of 38 poinsettia cultivars were quantitatively resolved by HPLC. Careful selection of samples revealed significant quantitative differences in flavonol content. While all cultivars of seedling origin could be differentiated on the basis of their flavonols, several families of sports could not. Most new commercial poinsettia cultivars have been selected from among somatic mutants exhibiting different bract color. Such changes in color were usually the results of change in anthocyanin content rather than flavonol content. The flavonol content increased in color sports with less anthocyanin. Three of the flavonols were absent from a few of the cultivars but most differences between cultivars were only quantitative. Genetic data suggested independent assortment of control of quercetin 3-rhamnoside and quercetin 3-galactoside synthesis but linkage of quercetin 3-rhamnoside and kaempferol 3-rhamnoside synthesis.     

Flavonols in the Pollen of Tea Flowers

A new flavonol and its glycosides were isolated from the pollen of tea flowers. Their UV, IR, MS, and NMR spectra, alkaline degradation and color reactions have supported that the chemical structure of the flavonol is 3,5,8,4’-tetrahydroxy-7-methoxyflavone and that two glycosides were its 3-rhamnoglucoside and 3-monoglucoside, respectively. But another glycoside remained unidentified as to the sugar moiety. This flavonol, its rhamno-glucoside, monoglucoside and undetermined glycoside were named pollenitin, pollenin a, b, and c, respectively.     

Inflorescence scent,color, and nectar properties of “butterfly bush” (Buddleja davidii) in its native range

In this study, flower color, nectar properties, and inflorescence scent composition of eight natural and one introduced Buddleja davidii populations were investigated. Flower color of B. davidii was determined using the Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart and ranged from purple to white. Volume of nectar produced by a single flower ranged from 0.36 μl to 0.64 μl and total sugar concentration produced by inflorescence ranged from 17.0% to 33.5% in all populations. Floral nectar volume and sugar concentration were not significantly different between two flower color morphs in the B. davidii populations. Floral scents of B. davidii were collected using dynamic headspace adsorption and identified with coupled gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. In total, 33 compounds were identified from the inflorescences of B. davidii. The identified scents were divided into five chemical classes based on their biosynthetic origin: irregular terpenes, monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, fatty acid derivatives, and benzenoids. The scent profiles in all populations were dominated by few components, such as: 4-oxoisophorone, E,E-α-farnesene, and 1-octen-3-ol. Given that inflorescence scents from natural and introduced individuals coming from the same population have discrepant chemical composition, we infer that phenotype plasticity may mediate floral scent composition. Based on the comparison of present and other data available on floral scent in B. davidii, we conclude that inflorescence scent may serve as a specific signal helping to attract pollinating butterflies to locate flowers as nectar sources, and may have evolved in conjunction with the sensory capabilities of butterflies and moths as a specific group of pollinators.
