BpCYP76AD15 is involved in betaxanthin biosynthesis in bougainvillea callus

BpCYP76AD15 is involved in betaxanthin biosynthesis in bougainvillea callus
Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea peruviana) is a climbing tropical ornamental tree belonging to Nyctaginaceae. Pigments that are conferring colorful bracts in bougainvillea are betalains, and that conferring yellow color are betaxanthins. In general, for red-to-purple betacyanin biosynthesis, α clade CYP76AD that has tyrosine hydroxylase and DOPA oxygenase
