-
ectopic expression of PtrLAR1 in poplar positively regulates the biosynthesis of proanthocyanidin, whereas the accumulation of anthocyanin and flavonol is significantly reduced in all transgenic plants compared to the control plants
malfunction
-
overexpression of PtrLAR3 in Chinese white poplar (Populus tomentosa Carr.) leads to a significant plant-wide increase in proanthocyanidin levels. In vitro assays show that crude leaf extracts from 35S:PtrLAR3 transformants are able to inhibit significantly the hyphal growth of Marssonina brunnea f.sp.multigerm tubi compared to the extracts from control plants. The transgenic 35S:PtrLAR3 poplar plants display a significant reduction in their disease symptoms compared with the control
malfunction
-
transgenic tobacco overexpressing TcLAR have decreased amounts of anthocyanidins and increased proanthocyanidins. Overexpressing TcLAR in Arabidopsis ldox mutant also results in elevated synthesis of not only catechin but also epicatechin
malfunction
overexpression of CsLAR causes a decrease in the proanthocyanidins in transgenic plants
-
leucoanthocyanidin reductase and anthocyanidin reductase are involved in biosynthesis of proanthocyanidins or condensed tannins by producing (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin, respectively, from leukoanthocyanidin
metabolism
flavan-3-ols are synthesized through the flavonoid pathway via leucoanthocyanidin and anthocyanidin. Leucoanthocyanidin can be converted to (+)-flavan-3-ol, e.g. (+)-catechin, by leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) or to anthocyanidin by anthocyanidin synthase (ANS)

metabolism
the enzyme is involved in the flavan-3-ol/anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway. Leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) and anthocyanidin reductase (ANR, EC 1.3.1.77) catalyze the formation of catechins and epicatechins from leucoanthocyanidins and anthocyanidins, respectively, overview

flavan-3-ols are synthesized through the flavonoid pathway via leucoanthocyanidin and anthocyanidin. Leucoanthocyanidin can be converted to (+)-flavan-3-ol, e.g. (+)-catechin, by leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) or to anthocyanidin by anthocyanidin synthase (ANS)
-
leucoanthocyanidin reductase catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of 2R,3S,4S-flavan-3,4-diols into 2R,3S-flavan-3-ols, a subfamily of flavonoids that is important for plant survival and for human nutrition
physiological function
leucoanthocyanidin reductase converts leucoanthocyanidin to (+)-catechin, a precursor of proanthocyanidins abundant in Japanese persimmon fruits
physiological function
leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR), together with anthocyanidin reductase (ANR, EC 1.3.1.77), plays an important role in the monomeric units biosynthesis of proanthocyanidins (PAs) such as catechin and epicatechin in several plants. ANR and LAR levels in tartary buckwheat might be regulated by different mechanisms for catechin and epicatechin biosynthesis under light and dark conditions. The catechin content is correlated with color pigment in roots
physiological function
role for leucoanthocyanidin reductase in the extension of proanthocyanidins. Monomeric flavan-3-ols do not dimerize in autopolymerization assays, whereas procyanidin B2 oligomerizes, either alone or with monomeric flavan-3-ols, suggesting that formation of epicatechin carbocation is a crucial step for proanthocyanidin assembly
physiological function
the enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of (+)-catechin, a flavan-3-ol that is a precursor of the proanthcyanidins from leucoanthocyanidin. Presence of two PaLAR3 allelic lineages in Picea abies. Higher resistance to Heterobasidion annosum s.l., a pathogenic basidiomycete species complex, is associated with the newly detected allele, which is found in low frequency in the four Picea abies populations. Norway spruce plants carrying at least one copy of the newly detected allele show a significant reduction in fungal growth in sapwood (FGS) after inoculation with Heterobasidion parviporum compared to their half-siblings carrying no copies, indicating dominance of this allele. The amount of (+)-catechin, the enzymatic product of PaLAR3, is significantly higher in bark of trees homozygous for the secod allele. Regulation of gene expression is responsible for effects in resistance, possibly caused by differences in cis-acting elements that are observed in the promoter region of the two alleles. PaLAR3A and PaLAR3B show similar enzymatic activity. Constitutive bark (+)-catechin content is higher in PaLAR3B homozygotes
physiological function
the enzyme converts leucoanthocyanidins into nonalloylated catechins. The majority of leaf flavan-3-ols in Shuchazao's leaves are produced from the ANR pathway
physiological function
