Post-transcriptional gene silencing of CYP76AD controls betalain biosynthesis in bracts of bougainvillea [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2021 Betalain is one of four major plant pigments and shares some features with anthocyanin; however, no plant has been found to biosynthesize both pigments.

Characterisation of betalain biosynthesis in Parakeelya flowers identifies the key biosynthetic gene DOD as belonging to an expanded LigB gene family that is conserved in betalain-producing species [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Plant betalain pigments are intriguing because they are restricted to the Caryophyllales and are mutually exclusive with the more common anthocyanins. However, betalain biosynthesis is poorly understood compared to that of anthocyanins.

Advances in Betalain Biosynthesis and Metabolic Engineering for Sustainable Natural Pigment Production. [PDF]
BioTech (Basel)Betalains are water-soluble pigments containing nitrogen, and they exist naturally in the plants of the order Caryophyllales. They have gained increasing attention in recent years because of their intense colours, antioxidant activity, and safety, thus ...

Elucidation of the First Committed Step in Betalain Biosynthesis Enables the Heterologous Engineering of Betalain Pigments in Plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2016 [EN] 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 ...

Casting light on the pathway to betalain biosynthesis: A review
Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2021 The biosynthesis of pigments is crucial for plant life. Betalains are hydrosoluble pigments almost completely restricted to species of the core Caryophyllales and, within the fungal lineage, the Basidiomycetes.

Identification of a Catalase-Phenol Oxidase in Betalain Biosynthesis in Red Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus). [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2015 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 ...

“La Vie en Rose”: Biosynthesis, Sources, and Applications of Betalain Pigments [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2018 Betalains are tyrosine-derived red-violet and yellow pigments found exclusively in plants of the Caryophyllales order, which have drawn both scientific and economic interest. Nevertheless, research into betalain chemistry, biochemistry, and function has been limited as comparison with other major classes of plant pigments such as anthocyanins and ...

Transcriptome and Metabolic Profiling Provides Insights into Betalain Biosynthesis and Evolution in Mirabilis jalapa [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2018 Betalains are tyrosine-derived pigments that occur solely in one plant order, the Caryophyllales, where they largely replace the anthocyanins in a mutually exclusive manner. In this study, we conducted multi-species transcriptome and metabolic profiling in Mirabilis jalapa and additional betalain-producing species to identify candidate genes possibly ...
