Increasing content of flavonoids and phenols in plants, useful for e.g. preventing cardiovascular disease, by reducing activity of flavanone-3-hydroxylase

摘要

Increasing the content of flavonoids and phenolic metabolites (I) in plants by producing plants with reduced activity of flavanone-3-hydroxylase (F3H) using genetic engineering methods, is new. An Independent claim is also included for plants with increased (I) content produced this way.
