Synthesis of betanin by expression of the core betalain biosynthetic pathway in carrot

Horticultural Plant Journal
Betalain has received increased attention because of its high nutritional value and crucial physiological functions. Based on the elucidation of its core biosynthetic pathway, betalain can be produced in additional plants by metabolic engineering ...

Out of the blue: family‐wide loss of anthocyanin biosynthesis in Cucurbitaceae

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
Significance Statement Anthocyanins are nearly universal plant pigments, making their evolutionary loss unexpected. Phylogenomics across Cucurbitaceae reveals the consistent absence of key structural and regulatory genes in the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin pathways, indicating a family‐wide pathway loss. We propose Cucurbitaceae as a ‘natural knock‐

Preharvest application of ethephon and postharvest UV-B radiation improve quality traits of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris) as source of colourant

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Betanins have become excellent replacers for artificial red-purple food colourants. Red beet (Beta vulgaris L. spp. vulgaris) known as beetroot, is a rich source of betalains, which major forms are betanin (red to purple) and vulgaxanthin ...

Characterization of underlying transcription factors that regulate betalain pigment formation in beets [PDF]

, 2017
The plant kingdom is a colorful place with most vascular plants producing phenylalanine-based red/violet anthocyanin pigment. Only a single order of flowering plants, the Caryophyllales, is known to produce an unusual pigment known as Betalain. Betalains

Identification of R2R3-MYB Transcription Factor Family Based on Amaranthus tricolor Genome and AtrMYB72 Promoting Betalain Biosynthesis by Directly Activating AtrCYP76AD1 Expression

Plants
MYB (myeloblastosis) is one of the most abundant transcription factors in plants which regulates various biological processes. The molecular characteristics and function of R2R3-MYB transcription factors in amaranth remain unclear. In this study, 73 R2R3-

Cytosolic and Nuclear Co-localization of Betalain Biosynthetic Enzymes in Tobacco Suggests that Betalains Are Synthesized in the Cytoplasm and/or Nucleus of Betalainic Plant Cells

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Betalains replace anthocyanins as color pigments in most families of Caryophyllales. Unlike anthocyanins, betalains are derived from tyrosine via three enzymatic steps: hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA; step 1), and ...

Stabilization of betalains by encapsulation—a review

Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2019
Betalains are pigments that have properties that benefit health, such as antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial activity, and they also possess a high ability to provide color. However, these pigments, although used as colorants in certain foods, have not been able to be potentialized to diverse areas such as pharmacology, due to their instability ...
