Identification of a catalase-phenol oxidase in betalain biosynthesis in red amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Betalains are a group of nitrogen-containing pigments that color plants in most families of Caryophyllales. Their biosynthesis has long been proposed to begin with hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA through monophenolase activity of tyrosinase, but ...

Soybean Cyst Nematode‐Resistant Protein AATRhg1 Affects Amino Acid Homeostasis and Betalain Accumulation [PDF]
Plant DirectAmino acid transporters play crucial roles in plant nitrogen metabolism but also in defense responses. AATRhg1, an apparent amino acid transporter encoded by Glyma.18g022400 (Rhg1‐GmAAT) at the soybean Rhg1 locus, contributes to resistance to soybean ...

Tyrosine Hydroxylation in Betalain Pigment Biosynthesis Is Performed by Cytochrome P450 Enzymes in Beets (Beta vulgaris). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Yellow and red-violet betalain plant pigments are restricted to several families in the order Caryophyllales, where betacyanins play analogous biological roles to anthocyanins. The initial step in betalain biosynthesis is the hydroxylation of tyrosine to
