Computational study on a puzzle in the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanin: Why is an enzymatic oxidation/ reduction process required for a simple tautomerization? [PDF]
In the late stage of anthocyanin biosynthesis, dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) and anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) mediate a formal tautomerization. However, such oxidation/reduction process requires high energy and appears to be unnecessary, as the ...

Proanthocyanidin synthesis in Theobroma cacao: genes encoding anthocyanidin synthase, anthocyanidin reductase, and leucoanthocyanidin reductase [PDF]
Abstract Background The proanthocyanidins (PAs), a subgroup of flavonoids, accumulate to levels of approximately 10% total dry weight of cacao seeds. PAs have been associated with human health benefits and also play important roles in pest and disease defense throughout the plant ...

Lotus tenuis x L. corniculatus interspecific hybridization as a means to breed bloat-safe pastures and gain insight into the genetic control of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in legumes [PDF]
Background: Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are secondary metabolites that strongly affect plant quality traits. The concentration and the structure of these metabolites influence the palatability and nutritional value of forage legumes. Hence, modulating PAs in

Colour and stability of the six common anthocyanidin 3-glucosides [PDF]
This study on anthocyanin stability and colour variation (lambda max, absorptivity) in the pH range 1-12 during a period of 60 days storage at 10 and 23ºC, was conducted on the 3-glucosides of the six common anthocyanidins. It was mostly in the alkaline

Anthocyanidins of Lochnera rosea [PDF]
IN a survey of the anthocyanin flower pigments of plants growing in Trinidad1, it was found that Lochnera (Vinca) rosea (Apocynaceae) contained an anthocyanin the aglycone of which was not identified. The fresh petals gave on chromatography a major glycosidic component of R F 0.29 together with traces of two others R F 0.23, 0.18 in the n-butanol ...
