| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plants produce more than 200,000 secondary metabolites, among which flavonoids are a group of over 7,000 compounds. These compounds are important for our lives as pharmaceutical raw materials and functional foods. However, useful secondary metabolites derived from these plants have a large limitation to stable supply because of low contents in plants, origin from rare plant, difficulty in purification. In this study, we aimed to construct stable flavonoid production system using transformants by clarifying transporters of flavonoids.
