Journal ArticleDOI
Phenols in the plant and in man. The potential for possible nutritional enhancement of the diet by modifying the phenols content or profile
Adrian J. Parr,G.P. Bolwell +1 more
TL;DR: Information provided provides a basis for attempts to modify and optimise the phenolic content of food crops, using either conventional plant breeding along with manipulation of agronomic practices, or else the more targeted approaches of modern molecular biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional repression by AtMYB4 controls production of UV-protecting sunscreens in Arabidopsis.
Hailing Jin,Eleonora Cominelli,Paul Bailey,Adrian J. Parr,Frank Mehrtens,Jonathon Jones,Chiara Tonelli,Bernd Weisshaar,Cathie Martin +8 more
TL;DR: An Arabidopsis thaliana line that is mutant for the R2R3 MYB gene, AtMYB4, shows enhanced levels of sinapate esters in its leaves, indicating that derepression is an important mechanism for acclimation to UV‐B in A.thaliana.
Journal ArticleDOI
The AmMYB308 and AmMYB330 transcription factors from antirrhinum regulate phenylpropanoid and lignin biosynthesis in transgenic tobacco
Lodovico Tamagnone,Ángel Mérida,Adrian J. Parr,Steve Mackay,Francisco A. Culianez-Macia,Keith Roberts,Cathie Martin +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that overexpression of two MYB genes from Antirrhinum represses phenolic acid metabolism and lignin biosynthesis in transgenic tobacco plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
AtMYB12 regulates caffeoyl quinic acid and flavonol synthesis in tomato : expression in fruit results in very high levels of both types of polyphenol
Jie Luo,Eugenio Butelli,Lionel Hill,Adrian J. Parr,Ricarda Niggeweg,Paul Bailey,Bernd Weisshaar,Cathie Martin +7 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that transcription factors may have different specificities for target genes in different plants, which is of significance when designing strategies to improve metabolite accumulation and the anti-oxidant capacity of foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell wall esterified phenolic dimers: Identification and quantification by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography and diode array detection
TL;DR: An optimized high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure has been developed for the analysis and quantification of all of the known ferulic acid dehydrodimers, and the principle phenolic aldehydes and acids, found in the cell walls of higher plants as discussed by the authors.
