The gene Po in pollen of Petunia hybrida Vilm. controls a discrete step in flavonoid biosynthesis. In recessive genotypes, naringenin-chalcone (4, 2',4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone) is accumulated, whereas, under the influence of the wild-type allele flavonols and anthocyanins are formed.

In flower buds of the white flowering mutant W19 of Petunia hybrida four biologically active dihydroflavonol intermediates-dihydroquercetin-7-glucoside, dihydroquercetin-4'-glucoside, dihydroquercetin, and dihydrokaempferol-7-glucoside-are accumulated. When dihydroquercetin was supplied to in vitro
Limbs of flower buds from Petunia hybrida were investigated for fi-glucosidase activity with dihydroflavonol-glucosides and 4-methyl-umbelliferylfl-D-glucoside as substrates. Dihydroflavonol-glucoside fl-glucosidase is localized in the cell wall. This activity has an acid pH optimum and is also acti
