Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a novel isoflavone 3′-O-methyltransferase from Pueraria lobata
Pueraria lobata roots accumulate 3′-, 4′- and 7-O-methylated isoflavones and many of these methylated compounds exhibit various pharmacological activities. Either the 4′- or 7-O-methylation activity has been investigated at molecular levels in several legume species. However, the gene encoding the i...
