Pollinator, herbivore, and climatic selective pressures differ across a floral color transition zone
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Premise Spatial and temporal variations in climate and ecological interactions may underlie the origin and maintenance of floral color polymorphisms across a species range. Betalains are nitrogen‐containing, phylogenetically restricted pigments that, like the widespread and well‐studied anthocyanins and carotenoids, may attract pollinators ...

Betalain synthesis in alfalfa impacts fiber digestion and enteric methane production
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Betalain pigments, betacyanins, and betaxanthins are widely used as coloring agents as well as in pharmaceutical and functional foods. However, significant betacyanin production occurs in only a few species of plants, which limits their wider application.

Thermal Decarboxylation of Betacyanins in Red Beet Betalain-Rich Extract
Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences, 2020 Betalains are one of the most common groups of plant pigments found in nature, especially in red beetroot ( Beta vulgaris L.) which is the main commercially exploited source of betalains produced in the form of concentrates or powders.
