Exploring the genes involved in biosynthesis of dihydroquercetin and dihydromyricetin in Ampelopsis grossedentata

Abstract Dihydroquercetin (DHQ), an extremely low content compound (less than 3%) in plants, is an important component of dietary supplements and used as functional food for its antioxidant activity. Moreover, as downstream metabolites of DHQ, an extremely high content of dihydromyricetin (DHM) is u...
