摘要

Flavonoids comprise a diverse group of phenolic compounds, which serve a variety of ecological and physiological functions in plants. These include attraction of pollinators, defense against predators and pathogens, and protection against UV damage. Flavonoid polymers (proanthocyanidins, also known as condensed tannins) are advantageous for controlling ruminant digestion and insect foraging. They also have wide-ranging benefits in human health. In the oilseed and vegetable Brassicas, they are present inbrown and black seed coats as a part of the anti-nutritional phenolic fibre fraction and their reduction is the focus of major breeding programmes around the world. Several collections of chemically-induced and T-DNA-induced mutants in the Arabidopsis flavonoid pathway have been screened worldwide to find transparent testa (tt) and tannin-deficient seed (tds) mutants in the proanthocyanidin pathway. These studies have led to a detailed understanding of the enzymology and metabolic regulation of much of the flavonoid pathway. Seventeen flavonoid genes have been characterized over the past decade in Arabidopsis,including six regulatory genes, a vacuole transporter, and eleven structural genes, but genes defining the last steps in polymer formation are unknown. Recently, a new population of activation-tagged Arabidopsis lines (~50,000) and T-DNA -tagged lines (~20,000) were developed in Saskatoon, Canada. Within this population, we have discovered additional seed coat colour alleles,interacting trichome alleles, and several novel proanthocyanidin-free mutants. The lines are being used to re-define the pathway and as a basis for isolating novel genes.
