Metabolite profiling reveals organ-specific flavone accumulation in and identifies a scutellarin isomer isoscutellarein 8--β-glucuronopyranoside.

is a genus of plants containing multiple species with well-documented medicinal effects. and are among the best-studied species, and previous works have established flavones to be the primary source of their bioactivity. Recent genomic and biochemical studies with and have advanced our understanding of flavone biosynthesis in .
