Gene Expression Analysis and Metabolite Profiling of Silymarin Biosynthesis during Milk Thistle (<i>Silybum marianum </i>(L.) Gaertn.) Fruit Ripening

Gene Expression Analysis and Metabolite Profiling of Silymarin Biosynthesis during Milk Thistle (<i>Silybum marianum </i>(L.) Gaertn.) Fruit Ripening

Mature fruits (i.e., achenes) of milk thistle (<i>Silybum marianum </i>(L.) Gaertn., Asteraceae) accumulate high amounts of silymarin (SILM), a complex mixture of bioactive flavonolignans deriving from taxifolin. Their biological activities in relation with human health promotion and dis...
