Abstract The instability of anthocyanins limits their application as natural food colorants. This study aimed to enhance the stability of anthocyanins extracted from Hibiscus sabdariffa through copigmentation with protein nanofibrils produced from pea, rice, gluten and whey isolates. Linear and curly nanofibril structures were prepared and incorporated

ABSTRACT The planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is the primary vector of two phloem‐restricted prokaryotes, which can cause the disease syndrome de basses richesses (SBR) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Heavy infestations of this insect have contributed to significant yield losses in Central Europe, but little is known about ...

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Stress-specific adaptation of a non-betalain DODA homolog from pansy (Viola × wittrockiana)
The mutual exclusivity of anthocyanin and betalain pigmentation in plants is a classic example of metabolic lineage-specific adaptation. Unlike L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) 4,5-dioxygenase (DODA) in betalain-producing plants, which is ...

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.
