Abstract: Nobiletin (3',4',5,6,7,8-hexamethoxyflavone) is a polymethoxylated flavonoid specifically accumulated in citrus fruit with numerous beneficial effects to human health. In this study, a novel O-methyltransferase (CitOMT2) was isolated from three citrus varieties, Ponkan mandarin (Citrus reticulata… read more here.
