TL;DR: This work identified and confirmed additional target genes of the R2R3-MYB subgroup 7 factors, including the UDP-glycosyltransferases UGT91A1 and UGT84A1, and demonstrated that the accumulation of distinct and structurally identified flavonol glycosides in seedlings correlates with the expression domains of the different R2r3- MYB factors.

TL;DR: The genetic and molecular analyses presented here demonstrated that Arabidopsis MYBL2, which encodes a R3-MYB-related protein, is involved in the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis, and transient expression analyses in A. thaliana cells suggested thatMYBL2 interacts with MBW complexes in planta and directly modulates the expression of flav onoid target genes.

TL;DR: All FSTs have been newly mapped using an optimized procedure that leads to improved accuracy of insertion site predictions, and many problematic FST-to-line links have been corrected using new wet-lab data.

TL;DR: A systematic phenotypic characterisation of almost all available tt and tds mutants is performed and a collection of mutants in the genetic background of the accession Columbia is built to minimise effects arising from ecotype variation.

TL;DR: This study shows that TT1 is not only required for correct expression of PA-specific genes in the seed coat, but also affects CHS, encoding the first enzyme of flavonoid biosynthesis, and proposes that the TT2/TT8/TTG1 regulon may also comprise early genes like CHS.
