Glucosylation of taxifolin with cultured plant cells

Nat Prod Commun. 2013 Jul;8(7):903-4.

Abstract

Cultured plant cells of Eucalyptus perriniana glucosylated taxifolin to its 3'- and 7-O-beta-D-glucosides and 3',7-O-beta-D-diglucoside. On the other hand, taxifolin was converted into 3'- and 7-O-beta-D-glucosides by cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum and Catharanthus roseus.
