This enzyme was first reported in the microsomal fractions of Haplopappus gracilis cell cultures,33 studied in more detail in parsley,34 and later shown to occur in the flowers of several species.7 F3 H catalyzes the hydroxylation of naringenin and dihydrokaempferol (DHK), as well as of apigenin or kaempferol to their respective 3 -hydroxy derivatives, eriodictyol, dihydroquercetin (DHQ), luteolin, and quercetin, but does not accept the flavan 3,4-diols or anthocyanidins as substrates,34 indicating that B-ring hydroxylation of the latter is determined at the dihydroflavonol level. It was more than two decades later that the first cDNA clone encoding F3 H was isolated and characterized from the flowers of Petunia hybridal Arabidopsis thaliana,36 and Perilla frutescens.37 Their recombinant proteins were shown to... 

Pisutthanan et al. (27) isolated six flavonoids out of which three were reported in this plant for the first time. They include 3,5,4 -trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone 5,7,3 -trihydroxy-5 -methoxyflavanone and 3,5,7-trihydroxy-4 -methoxyflavanone. Ling et al. (28) also isolated a total of eleven flavonoids from the leaf extract and identified them as eriodictyol 7,4 -dimethyl ether, quercetin 7,4 -dimethyl ether, naringenin 4 -methyl ether, kaempferol 4 -methyl ether, kaempferol 3-0-mtinoside, taxifolin 4 -methyl ether, taxifolin 7-methyl ether and quercetin 4 -methyl ether. Suksamram et al. (23) isolated the flavanones, isosakuranetin (5,7-dihydroxy-4 -methoxyflavanone), persicogenin (5,3 -dihydroxy-7,4 -dimethoxyflavanone), 5,6,7,4 -tetramethoxyflavanone and 4 -hydroxy-5,6,7-trimethoxyflavanone, the chalcones, 2 -hydroxy-4,4, 5, 6 -tetramethoxychalcone and 4,2 -dihydroxy-4, 5, 6 -trimethoxychalcone, and the flavones, acacetin (5,7-dihydroxy-4 -methoxyflavone) and luteolin (5,7,3, 4 -tetrahydroxyflavone) from the flowers. 

Origanum vulgare L. leaves consisted apigenin (18), a flavanone eriodictyol (112) and dihydroflavonols, dihydrokaempferol (207) and dihydroquercetin (208) [101]. A new flavone glycoside was isolated from O. vulgare L. together with some known flavones. The new compound was 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-6-0-[a-L-rhamnopyranosyl( 1 — 2)-p-D-fuco-...
