Abstract

Using the methods developed in part I (1), the compounds extracted from the flower petals of the two yellow dahlias “Pius IX” and “Coton” have been examined. As briefly reported earlier (4), 3′,4′,6-trihydroxyaurone was shown to be present in “Pius IX”. The 6-mono- and -diglucosides of this compound were found in “Coton” together with the 7-mono- and -diglucosides of liquiritigenin, the 4-monoglucosides of both butein and 2,4,4′-trihydroxychalcone, and the 4-diglucoside of the last named compound.

      a member of the Asteraceae family, is with more than 20,000 cultivars one of the most popular garden plants world-wide (McClaren, 2009). The flower color ranges from nearly black to any imaginable hue of magenta, red, orange, white and yellow, based on the accumulation of flavonoids and anthochlors (Giannasi, 1975; Nordström and Swain, 1956; Halbwirth et al., 2008). Therein, three basic color types can be distinguished: red hues (including black) are based on the presence of anthocyanins.

Additionally, the 7-hydroxylated analogue maritimetin (2) was isolated from Bidens species.

      However, quercetin is a “colorless” flavonoid. In contrast, “yellow” flavonoids, such as aurone and chalcone, produce brighter yellow-colored flowers, as shown in dahlia, snapdragon, and yellow cosmos (Harborne, 1963; Shimokoriyama and Hattori, 1953; Nordström and Swain, 1956). Yellow-flowered Torenia hybrida, whose yellow flowers accumulate aurone, were obtained from blue-flowered plants into which Antirrhinum majus genes were introduced using a transgene approach (Ono et al., 2006).

      The previous studies included an F3′H from D. variabilis, which owes its bright flower coloration to the presence of both 4′- and 3′,4′-hydroxylated flavonoids and 6′-deoxychalcones showing a corresponding 4- and 3,4-hydroxylation pattern [5]. Whereas anthocyanins (derivatives of the 4′-hydroxylated pelargonidin and the 3′,4′-hydroxylated cyanidin) are responsible for the formation of red, magenta, and orange hues, 6′-deoxychalcones (derivatives of 4-hydroxylated isoliquiritigenin and 3,4-hydroxylated butein) are the exclusive yellow pigments in dahlia flowers [5–9]. Although both 6′-deoxychalcones and flavonoids present in D. variabilis show a corresponding B-ring hydroxylation pattern, the recombinant F3′H from D. variabilis cv.
