Uncovering genes essential in domestication and breeding of sugar beet

Crop Journal
The genus Beta encompasses economically important root crops such as sugar and table beet. A Beta diversity set including the wild relative B. vulgaris ssp. maritima was grown in the field, and a large phenotypic diversity was observed.

Complex Biochemistry and Biotechnological Production of Betalains

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2011
The demand for natural food colourants is increasing because of public awareness of their health benefits. Betalains are nitrogen-containing plant pigments whose colours range from red-violet betacyanins to yellow betaxanthins.

Multiple transitions to high l-DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase activity reveal molecular pathways to convergent betalain pigmentation in Caryophyllales.

Many specialized metabolic pathways have evolved convergently in plants, but distinguishing multiple origins from alternative evolutionary scenarios can be difficult. Here, we explore the evolution of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) 4,5-dioxygenase
