Anthocyanins are natural water-soluble pigments that are important in plants because they
endow a variety of colors to vegetative tissues and reproductive plant organs, mainly …

Epidemiological studies have revealed an inverse association between the consumption of
fruit, vegetables, and herbs and the risk of both cancer and cardiovascular disease. This …

Red coloration of apple (Malus× domestica) skin is an important determinant of consumer
preference and marketability. Anthocyanins are responsible for this coloration, and their …

Flavonoid are known to have various functions in growth, development, reproduction, and
also involved in diverse stress responses in plants. However, little is known about the roles …

The flavonoid biosynthesis pathway yields a large family of phenolic compounds which are
involved in many biological activities including plant defense response to a broad spectrum …

In the present study the possibility of enhancing phenolic compound contents in peaches
and nectarines by post-harvest irradiation with UV-B was assessed. Fruits of 'Suncrest'and …

This study was carried out to better understand the mechanism responsible for increasing
the anthocyanins in blueberries after UV–B radiation at 6.0 kJ m–2 for 20 min. UV–B …

Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was employed to identify candidate genes
involved in red coloration in apple peel with the ultraviolet (UV)‐B‐treated 'Mutsu'. After …

Abstract UDP-galactose: flavonoid 3-O-galactosyltransferase (UFGalT) is responsible for
cyanidin 3-galactoside (cy3-gal) synthesis from cyanidin (cy) and UDP-galactose (UDP-gal) …

Environmentally-responsive genes can affect fruit red colour via the activation of MYB
transcription factors. The apple B-box (BBX) gene, BBX33/CONSTANS-like 11 (COL11) has …
