We performed an expression analysis of flavonoid-related genes such as chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3′H), flavonoid 3´-hydroxylase (F3′H), and flavonol synthase (FLS) in order to investigate the effects of light exposure on rutin biosynthesis and to de...
