Genetic Analysis of Betacyanine, Betaxanthine, and Sucrose Concentrations in Roots of Table Beet

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1984
Abstract Genetic variation in pigment and sucrose concentrations of beet roots was investigated in a diallel cross among 9 inbred table beet lines. General combining ability (GCA) was significant for betacyanine, betaxanthine, and sucrose concentrations.

Betalain production is possible in anthocyanin-producing plant species given the presence of DOPA-dioxygenase and L-DOPA

BMC Plant Biology, 2012
Background Carotenoids and anthocyanins are the predominant non-chlorophyll pigments in plants. However, certain families within the order Caryophyllales produce another class of pigments, the betalains, instead of anthocyanins.
