Promotion of flavonoid biosynthesis in leaves and calli of ornamental crabapple (Malus spp.) by high carbon to nitrogen ratios

Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that play important roles in plant physiology. Despite numerous studies examined the effects of available carbon (C) or nitrogen (N) on flavonoid biosynthesis, the mechanism of C/N interactive effects on flavonoid metabolism is still unclear. In this study, we an...
