Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model
Plant Biology, EarlyView.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.

High‐throughput image‐based phenotyping of soybean hilum color
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Hilum color in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is an important morphological trait influencing market classification and seed quality traits, yet its phenotyping is largely subjective, relying on visual inspection and assignment to one of eight color classes. This study developed an image‐based high‐throughput pipeline to measure and classify

Valerophenone synthase-like chalcone synthase homologues in Humulus lupulus
Biologia plantarum, 2003 Valerophenone synthase homologue of chalcone synthase (CHS) is the first key enzyme described to be involved in the biosynthesis of bitter acids, the compounds produced in hop lupulin glands valuable for the taste of beer. The complete sequence of a novel homologue of CHS chs 4 was isolated from hop.
