A functional betalain-producing dioxygenase in Neolecta irregularis reveals an expanded evolutionary origin of the pathway [PDF]
IMA FungusBetalains are nitrogen-containing pigments with important biological, ecological, and biotechnological roles, yet their biosynthesis has been described almost exclusively in plants of the order Caryophyllales and in a few fungal and bacterial lineages ...

Biosynthesis of plant pigments: anthocyanins, betalains and carotenoids [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2008 SummaryPlant compounds that are perceived by humans to have color are generally referred to as ‘pigments’. Their varied structures and colors have long fascinated chemists and biologists, who have examined their chemical and physical properties, their mode of synthesis, and their physiological and ecological roles.

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2023 Beta vulgaris var. cicla is an edible, ornamental and horticultural plant. However, the difference of components and contents of betalain in beets with different leaf color are not well understood. Here, the stress resistance and metabolites of two B. vulgaris var. cicla cultivars were determined.

Elucidation of the first committed step in betalain biosynthesis enables the heterologous engineering of betalain pigments in plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2015 Summary Betalains are tyrosine‐derived red‐violet and yellow pigments, found in plants only of the Caryophyllales order. Although much progress has been made in recent years in the understanding of the betalain biosynthetic process, many questions remain open with regards to several of the proposed steps in the pathway.
