Seitz C, Ameres S, Schlangen K, Forkmann G, Halbwirth H
Planta . 2015 Apr; 242(3):561-73. PMID: 25916309
Multiple F3'5'H evolution from F3'H has occurred in dicotyledonous plants. Efficient pollinator attraction is probably the driving force behind, as this allowed for the synthesis of delphinidin-based blue anthocyanins. The...

Ruhmann S, Pfeiffer J, Brunner P, Szankowski I, Fischer T, Forkmann G, et al.
Plant Physiol Biochem . 2013 Apr; 72:62-71. PMID: 23578977
Products containing the epiphytic yeast Aureobasidium pullulans are commercially available and applied by fruit growers to prevent several fungal and bacterial diseases of fruit trees. The proposed beneficial mechanisms relate...

Li H, Flachowsky H, Fischer T, Hanke M, Forkmann G, Treutter D, et al.
Planta . 2007 Jul; 226(5):1243-54. PMID: 17618453
Flavonoids are a large family of polyphenolic compounds with manifold functions in plants. Present in a wide range of vegetables and fruits, flavonoids form an integral part of the human...

Seitz C, Ameres S, Forkmann G
FEBS Lett . 2007 Jul; 581(18):3429-34. PMID: 17612530
Flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (F3'H) and flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H) are cytochrome P450 enzymes and determine the B-ring hydroxylation pattern of flavonoids by introducing hydroxyl groups at the 3'- or the 3'- and...

Seitz C, Vitten M, Steinbach P, Hartl S, Hirsche J, Rathje W, et al.
Phytochemistry . 2007 Feb; 68(6):824-33. PMID: 17286993
Modern biotechnology has developed powerful tools for genetic engineering and flower colours are an excellent object to study possibilities and limitations of engineering strategies. Osteospermum hybrida became a popular ornamental...
6.
Seitz C, Eder C, Deiml B, Kellner S, Martens S, Forkmann G
Plant Mol Biol . 2006 Jul; 61(3):365-81. PMID: 16830174
Flavonoids are ubiquitous secondary plant metabolites which function as protectants against UV light and pathogens and are involved in the attraction of pollinators as well as seed and fruit dispersers....

Pfeiffer J, Kuhnel C, Brandt J, Duy D, Punyasiri P, Forkmann G, et al.
Plant Physiol Biochem . 2006 Jun; 44(5-6):323-34. PMID: 16806954
Catechin and epicatechin biosyntheses were studied of grape (Vitis vinifera L.), apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) and other crop leaves, since these monomers and the derived proanthocyanidins are important disease...

Gebhardt Y, Witte S, Forkmann G, Lukacin R, Matern U, Martens S
Phytochemistry . 2005 May; 66(11):1273-84. PMID: 15913674
Plant species of the family Apiaceae are known to accumulate flavonoids mainly in the form of flavones and flavonols. Three 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, flavone synthase or flavanone 3 beta-hydroxylase and flavonol...

Halbwirth H, Fischer T, Roemmelt S, Spinelli F, Schlangen K, Peterek S, et al.
Z Naturforsch C J Biosci . 2004 Jan; 58(11-12):765-70. PMID: 14713146
Fire blight, a devastating bacterial disease in pome fruits, causes severe economic losses worldwide. Hitherto, an effective control could only be achieved by using antibiotics, but this implies potential risks...

Martens S, Forkmann G, Britsch L, Wellmann F, Matern U, Lukacin R
FEBS Lett . 2003 Jun; 544(1-3):93-8. PMID: 12782296
Flavone synthases (FNSs) catalyze the oxidation of flavanones to flavones, i.e. the formation of apigenin from (2S)-naringenin. While many plants express a microsomal-type FNS II, the soluble FNS I appears...
