Grapevine under deficit irrigation: hints from physiological and molecular data. (2010, background): “However, little is known about proanthocyanidins (for reviews, see Dixon et al., 2005; Xie and Dixon, 2005) and a standardized measure of tannins has not yet been adopted (Downey et al., 2006).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “PAs (also known as condensed tannins) are produced from the condensation of flavan-3-ol units that accumulate in the vacuoles of plants (Dixon et al., 2005; Lepiniec et al., 2006).”
The Flavonoid Biosynthesis Network in Plants (2021, background): “Proanthocyanidins are synthesized via the polymerization (or condensation) of flavan-3-ols [140,141].”
