Biosynthesis of plant pigments: anthocyanins, betalains and carotenoids [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2008 SummaryPlant compounds that are perceived by humans to have color are generally referred to as ‘pigments’. Their varied structures and colors have long fascinated chemists and biologists, who have examined their chemical and physical properties, their mode of synthesis, and their physiological and ecological roles.

Cytokinins Enhance Sugar-Induced Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Molecules and Cells, 2012 In higher plants, the regulation of anthocyanin synthesis by various factors including light, sugars and hormones is mediated by numerous regulatory factors acting at the transcriptional level. Here, the association between sucrose and the plant hormone, cytokinin, in the presence of light was investigated to elucidate cytokinin signaling cascades ...

CCoAOMT Down-Regulation Activates Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Petunia [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2015 Anthocyanins and volatile phenylpropenes (isoeugenol and eugenol) in petunia (Petunia hybrida) flowers have the precursor 4-coumaryl coenzyme A (CoA) in common. These phenolics are produced at different stages during flower development. Anthocyanins are synthesized during early stages of flower development and sequestered in vacuoles during the ...
