Biosynthesis of Flavonoid

Flavonoid is synthesized through both the phenylpropanoid-acetate pathway and the acetate-malonate pathway in all higher plants (but not algae). Most plants contain the 6 major subgroups: chalcones, flavanones, flavones, flavonols, flavans, and anthocyani(di)ns. Aurones or isoflavonoids are not ubiquitous.

Evolutionary Pressure

Rausher and colleagues studied the relationship between pathway architecture and protein evolutionary rates in anthocyanin biosynthetic pathways. Upstream enzymes showed reduced rates of non-synonymous substitution compared with downstream enzymes, which are under relaxed constraints, in both broad (Zea in monocot and Antirrhinum and Ipomoea in eudicot [1] [2] ) and narrow (within Ipomoea [3]) comparisons. Similarly, the downstream enzyme is under less selective pressure in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway [4].
