Overexpression of petunia chalcone isomerase in tomato results in fruit containing increased levels of flavonols.
Shelagh Rachael Muir,Geoff J. Collins,Susan Robinson,Stephen Hughes,Arnaud G. Bovy,C.H. Ric de Vos,Arjen J. van Tunen,Martine Elisa Verhoeyen +7 more
TL;DR: Processing of high-flavonol tomatoes demonstrated that 65% of flavonols present in the fresh fruit were retained in the processed paste, supporting their potential as raw materials for tomato-based functional food products, and upregulated flavonol biosynthesis in the tomato in order to generate fruit with increased antioxidant capacity and a wider range of potential health benefit properties.
