A betaxanthin-based visible and fluorescent reporter for monitoring plant transformation
Crop Journal, 2023 Commonly used reporters rely on a single property, such as the fluorescence of GFP and visible color of anthocyanins, therefore these reporters hardly handle the complicated condition in practice.

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

The effect of drying process on the pigment content and composition of table beet varieties [PDF]
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2011 The food industry requires natural colouring agents in increasing quantities. Beet root is highly adapted to this purpose with its red (betacyanin) and yellow (betaxanthin) pigments suitable for numerous products. The two pigments are, however, very heat-
