Abstract:
The dihydrochalcone phloridzin (phloretin 2$\prime$-O-glucoside) is the most abundant phenolic compound in apple trees (Malus $\times$ domestica) and was also discussed to have an influence on the pathogen defence by shifting the dihydrochalcone profile from the glucosides to the more active aglycones. The final step in the biosynthesis of phloridzin is the glycosylation of phloretin at position 2$\prime$. Three cDNA clones from apple encoding glycosyltransferases are available which are able to...     »
