| Title | UDP-Glucose: Glucosyltransferase Activity Involved in the Biosynthesis of Flavonol Triglucosides in Pisum sativum L. Seedlings  | ||
| Abstract | From young, light-grown seedlings o f Pisum sativum L. an enzyme activity catalyzing the glu-cosylation o f kaempferol and quercetin in the 3-position to form the 3-0-triglucoside derivative has been demonstrated. The reaction proceeds from the aglycone via the mono-and diglucoside intermediates. The triglucoside can be produced from any o f the less substituted derivatives with uridine diphosphate-Z)-glucose (U D P G) as the glucosyl donor. Young leaf tissues had much high er levels o f glucosyltransferase activity than the petioles and internodes. This is the first report o f the synthesis o f flavonol-3-0-triglucosides in vitro. | ||
