Flavonoids biosynthetic pathway in maize. Biosynthetic genes (enzymes) in the pathway are: c2 (CHS), chalcone synthase; chi1 (CHI), chalcone isomerase; f3h (F3H), flavanone 3-hydroxylase; pr1 (F3’H), flavonoid 3’-hydroxylase; a1 (DFR), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase; a2 (AS), anthocyanidin synthase; bz1 (UFGT), UDP-glucose flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase; and bz2 (GST), glutathione S-transferase; f2h1 (F2H), flavanone-2-hydroxylase; GT, C-glycosyl transferase; sm2 (RT), rhamnosyl-transferase; salmon silk1 (sm1) [28]; and brown pericarp1 (bp1) [29, 30]; Pathway modeled after [31]; [27] (3-deoxyanthocyanidins); and [21] (C-glycosyl flavones). Putative steps in the pathway are shown as broken arrows with or without probable gene/enzymes involved.
