| Abstract | The leaves of Petunia 'Mitchell', a model species employed for transgenic manipulation, contain a wider array of acylated flavonol glycosides than occur in the petals. Three new acylated flavonol glycosides are described, kaempferol-3-O-(2-O,feruloyl-β-D-glucosyl(1→2)6-O- malonylglucoside), quercetin-3-O-(2-O-caffeoyl-β-D-glucosyl(1→2)6-O- malonylglucoside), and quercetin-3-O-(2-O-feruloyl-β-D- glucosyl(1→2)glucoside). A transgenic Mitchell line expressing the maize 'Leaf colour' (Lc) cDNA had enhanced levels of anthocyanins, particularly in their leaves. These anthocyanins were determined to be the same acylated petunidin glycosides as those which produce a slight red colouration in the tube of the flowers of Petunia 'Mitchell'. |
