Comparative expression analysis of flavonoid biosynthesis genes in vegetative and reproductive parts of medicinally important plant, Plantago ovata Forssk

Flavonoids are the most widespread secondary metabolites in plants, which are synthesized through the phenylpropanoid pathway. These are known to possess various types of health promoting activities. Plantago ovata, a medicinally important plant has not been explored much in terms of its antioxidant potential. In the present study, the expression pattern of genes of the phenylpropanoid-flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in P. ovata was studied in...
