摘要
During the past decade, the increasing knowledge of flavonoid biosynthesis and the important function of flavonoid compounds in plants and in human and animal nutrition have made the biosynthetic pathways to flavonoids and isoflavonoids excellent targets for metabolic engineering. Recent strategies have included introducing novel structural or regulatory genes, and the antisense or sense suppression of genes in these pathways.
