Overview

Analysis reveals two novel O-methyltransferase genes that enhance flavonoid production in Ginkgo biloba, suggesting new insights into plant biochemistry.

Key Points

  • To identify and characterize O-methyltransferase genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis in Ginkgo biloba.
  • Conducted transcriptomic analysis of Ginkgo leaves at different developmental stages.
  • Identified two FOMT genes, GbFOMT3 and GbFOMT12.
  • Performed enzymatic assays using seven flavonoid substrates.
  • GbFOMT3 and GbFOMT12 were identified as methylating quercetin, eriodictyol, and luteolin.
  • Produced isorhamnetin, hesperetin, and chrysoeriol through methylation.
  • Expanded knowledge of flavonoid O-methyltransferases in Ginkgo.
