Key Findings
- Researchers from the Jiangxi Academy of Sciences in Nanchang, China, studied flavonoid composition in different tissues of kiwifruit
- They identified 301 flavonoids, with high accumulation in leaves and roots
- The study found 84 genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis and 2362 transcription factor genes regulating this process, highlighting complex regulatory networks
