Comparative Metabolomics of Transgenic Tobacco Plants (Nicotiana tabacum var. Xanthi) Reveals Differential Effects of Engineered Complete and Incomplete Flavonoid Pathways on the Metabolome

TL;DR: Biochemical and genetic evidences have demonstrated that anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins share the same upstream pathway beginning with phenylalanine through a series of enzymatic reaction to Anthocyanin reductase, leading to uncertainty about whether or not this branch catalyzed by LAR exists in plants.
