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.

Virtual Screening of Phytochemicals From Medicinal Plants as Promising PDE5 Inhibitors Against Erectile Dysfunction

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Phytochemicals from Algerian medicinal plants were virtually screened as potential phosphodiesterase‐5 (PDE5) inhibitors for erectile dysfunction therapy. Drug‐likeness and toxicity analyses identified catechin, ellagic acid, and rosmarinic acid as safe, bioavailable candidates.

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.

Enhancing extraction of betalains from beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) using deep eutectic solvents: optimization, bioaccessibility and stability

Food Production, Processing and Nutrition
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are the next generation of green solvents that are considered for their stability and biocompatibility. This study used 10 different DESs synthesized from choline chloride, alcohols, organic acids and sugars.

Fluorescent bioinspired protein labeling with betalamic acid. Derivatization and characterization of novel protein-betaxanthins

Dyes and Pigments, 2016
Abstract Betaxanthins are the water-soluble pigments that bestow yellow coloration to fruits, flowers and roots of plants of the Caryophyllales order and present autofluorescence after excitation with blue light. In this work, the semi-synthesis of betaxanthins derived from macromolecules is achieved for the first time by exploiting the reactivity of
