Flower color preferences of insects and livestock: effects on Gentiana lutea reproductive success [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Angiosperms diversification was primarily driven by pollinator agents, but non-pollinator agents also promoted floral evolution. Gentiana lutea shows pollinator driven flower color variation in NW Spain.

Soil and climate contribute to maintenance of a flower color polymorphism.

open access: yesAmerican-Eurasian journal of botany
PREMISE Floral pigments such as anthocyanins are well known to influence pollinator attraction, yet they also confer tolerance to abiotic stressors such as harsh soils, extreme temperatures, low precipitation, and UV radiation.

Additional betalain accumulation by genetic engineering leads to a novel flower color in lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum).

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology, 2021
Betalains, comprising violet betacyanins and yellow betaxanthins, are pigments found in plants belonging to the order Caryophyllales. In this study, we induced the accumulation of betalains in ornamental lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) by genetic ...

Genetic determinants of the flower color transition trait in autotetraploid rose populations

open access: yesScientia Horticulturae
Some roses exhibit a unique phenotype that we call flower color transition. Roses that have this phenotype have flowers with petals that transition from a light yellow to a dark pink/red color as the flower ages.

Gamma rays and EMS induced Flower Color Mutation in Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus Linn.)

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Sciences, 2017
To induce flower color mutants in Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus Linn.) variety “Pusa-24“, the fresh seeds were exposed to 4 different doses of gamma radiation as physical mutagens (100, 200, 300 and 400 Gy) and treated with 4 different concentration of ...

Important Roles of Key Genes and Transcription Factors in Flower Color Differences of Nicotiana alata

open access: yesGenes, 2021
Nicotiana alata is an ornamental horticultural plant with a variety of flower colors and a long flowering period. The genes in four different colored N. alata (white, purple, red, and lemon green) were analyzed to explain the differences in flower color ...

How Much Pigment Should Flowers Have? Flowers With Moderate Pigmentation Have Highest Color Contrast

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Floral pigments are a core component of flower colors, but how much pigment a flower should have to yield a strong visual signal to pollinators is unknown.
