The Analysis of Partial Sequences of the Flavonone 3 Hydroxylase Gene in Lupinus mutabilis Reveals Differential Expression of Two Paralogues Potentially Related to Seed Coat Colour [PDF]
Agronomy, 2022 Flavonone 3 hydroxylases (EC 1.14.11.9) are key enzymes in the synthesis of anthocyanins and other flavonoids. Such compounds are involved in seed coat colour and stem pigmentation.

Crossability and inheritance of seed coat colour in cowpea at F1 generation [PDF]
, 2020 A study on crossability and inheritance of seed coat colour in cowpea was conducted between October, 2017 and August, 2018. Two accessions of cowpea: IT98K-205-8 (white seeded) and IT98K-555-1 (brown seeded) were used for the study. Plants were raised in plastic pots in the screen house, and as flowers mature, crosses were performed manually, early in ...
