Anthocyanins act as polyphenolic pigment that is ubiquitously found in plants. Anthocyanins
play a role not only in health-promoting as an antioxidant, but also in protection against all …

Phenylpropanoid-derived compounds represent a diverse family of secondary metabolites
that originate from phenylalanine. These compounds have roles in plant growth and …

Key message This review contains functional roles of MYB transcription factors in the
transcriptional regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in horticultural plants. This review …

Anthocyanins are important secondary metabolites in plants, and their contents and
composition determine plant flower and fruit color. Plant anthocyanins are natural edible …

Light is one of the most important environmental factors affecting flavonoid biosynthesis in
plants. The absolute dependency of light to the plant development has driven evolvement of …

The expansion of gene families encoding regulatory proteins is typically associated with the
increase in complexity characteristic of multi‐cellular organisms. The MYB and basic helix …

Anthocyanins represent the major red, purple, violet and blue pigments in many flowers and
fruits. They attract pollinators and seed dispersers and defend plants against abiotic and …

Background The control of plant anthocyanin accumulation is via transcriptional regulation
of the genes encoding the biosynthetic enzymes. A key activator appears to be an R2R3 …

Peach (Prunus persica L.) is a highly valuable crop species and is recognized by molecular
researchers as a model fruit for the Rosaceae family. Using whole-genome sequencing data …

Background Flavonoids such as anthocyanins, flavonols and proanthocyanidins, play a
central role in fruit colour, flavour and health attributes. In peach and nectarine (Prunus …
