Colorimetric and Fluorometric Paper-Based Assay for Cu²⁺ Detection Based on Green Synthesis of 2‑Aminoterephthalic Acid-Derived Pigments

, 2020
In this study, we developed a simple and economical method for the green synthesis of Cu2+ sensors based on betaxanthin pigments. Aminoisophthalic acid–betaxanthin was synthesized by coupling 2-aminoisophthalic acid and betalamic acid produced from DOPA ...

Identification of a catalase-phenol oxidase in betalain biosynthesis in red amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus)

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 ...

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1763-1766, October 2026.
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.
