Biochemical evaluation of molecular parts for flavonoid production using plant synthetic biology.

ABSTRACT: Among organisms on Earth, plants have the unique ability to produce a wide variety of biomolecules using soil nutrients, air, and solar energy. Therefore, plants are regarded as the most productive and cost-efficient bioreactors among living organisms. Flavonoids, a major group of secondary metabolites exclusively produced in plants, play crucial roles in plant physiology and have various effects on human health. Flavonoids are used in diverse industries such as the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetics industries. These compounds are typically extracted from specific plants that naturally produce large amounts of the target flavonoid for commercial production. However, with the increasing demand for flavonoids, efforts have been made to enhance flavonoid production using synthetic
