Tissue localization of betacyanins in cactus stems

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012
Betalains are soluble pigments found only in the suborder Chenopodiniae, while in all other Angiospermae they are replaced by anthocyanins. The convergent evolution of the presence of anthocyanins and betalains in vegetative tissues supports the ...
