Chlorogenic acid (CGA) plays an important role in protecting plants against pathogens and promoting human health. Although CGA accumulates to high levels in potato tubers, the key enzyme p-coumaroyl quinate/shikimate 3′-hydroxylase (C3′H) for CGA biosynthesis has not been isolated and functionally characterized in potato. In this work, we cloned StC3′H from potato and showed that it catalyzed the formation of caffeoylshikimate and CGA (caffeoylquinate) from p-coumaroyl shikimate and p-coumaroyl quinate, respectively, but was inactive towards p-coumaric acid in in vitro enzyme assays. When the expression of StC3′H proteins was blocked through antisense (AS) inhibition under the control of a tuber-specific patatin promoter, moderate changes in tuber yield as well as phenolic metabolites in the core tuber tissue were observed for several AS lines. On the other hand, the AS and control potato lines exhibited similar responses to a bacterial pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum. These results suggest that StC3′H is implicated in phenolic metabolism in potato. They also suggest that CGA accumulation in the core tissue of potato tubers is an intricately controlled process and that additional C3′H activity may also be involved in CGA biosynthesis in potato.

The first efficient synthesis of chlorogenic acid (1) was achieved in four steps (three purifications) from quinic acid (2). The overall yield was 65%, The key intermediate was quinic acid bisacetonide (6), selectively prepared by a modified kinetic aceta
