Identification, expression analysis of quinoa betalain biosynthesis genes and their role in seed germination and cold stress. [PDF]
Betalains provide Chenopodium quinoa bright color, and the key enzyme genes for betalain biosynthesis include CYP76AD, DODA, and GTs. In this study, 59 CqCYP76AD, CqDODA and CqGTs genes in quinoa were identified and characterized by gene structural ...

Genome-Wide Identification of WRKY Gene Family in Pitaya Reveals the Involvement of HmoWRKY42 in Betalain Biosynthesis. [PDF]
The WRKY gene family is a plant-specific transcription factor (TF) that regulates many physiological processes and (a) biotic stress responses. Despite this, little is known about the molecular properties and roles of WRKY TFs in pitaya betalain ...

Engineering Betalain Biosynthesis in Tomato for High Level Betanin Production in Fruits. [PDF]
Betalains are pigments found in plants of the Caryophyllales order, and include the red-purple betacyanins and the yellow-orange betaxanthins. The red pigment from red beets, betanin, is made from tyrosine by a biosynthetic pathway that consists of a cytochrome P450, a L-DOPA dioxygenase, and a glucosyltransferase.
