Regulation Mechanism of Plant Pigments Biosynthesis: Anthocyanins, Carotenoids, and Betalains
Metabolites, 2022 Anthocyanins, carotenoids, and betalains are known as the three major pigments in the plant kingdom. Anthocyanins are flavonoids derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway. They undergo acylation and glycosylation in the cytoplasm to produce anthocyanin derivatives and deposits in the cytoplasm. Anthocyanin biosynthesis is regulated by the MBW (comprised

The plasma bioavailability of nitrate and betanin from Beta vulgaris rubra in humans [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose To evaluate the plasma bioavailability of betanin and nitric oxide (NOx) after consuming beetroot juice (BTJ) and whole beetroot (BF). BTJ and BF were also analysed for antioxidant capacity, polyphenol content (TPC) and betalain content ...

Transcription Factors AsMYB1 and AsMYB3 Regulate Betalain Biosynthesis in <i>Aspergillus sydowii</i> H-1. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel)Betalains are nitrogen-containing pigments found only in Caryophyllales plants and a few Basidiomycetes; no Ascomycota species have been found to contain them. Here, global untargeted metabolomics analysis revealed that the violet pigment generated by the ascomycete Aspergillus sydowii H-1 under standard conditions of cultivation contains six distinct ...

Convergence between light quality and methyl jasmonate signaling in the regulation of betalain biosynthesis. [PDF]
Front Plant SciBetalains are nitrogen-containing pigments that produce red-violet and yellow-orange coloration in plants of the order Caryophyllales. Owing to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities, they have attracted considerable interest as natural food colourants and functional ingredients.
