Flavonoids represent a large class of secondary plant metabolites, of which anthocyanins
are the most conspicuous class, dueto the wide range of colors resulting from their …

Anthocyanins are a major subclass of flavonoids that have diverse biological functions and
benefit human health. In rice (Oryza sativa), the various colors shown by organs are due …

Basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) belong to a family of transcriptional
regulators present in three eukaryotic kingdoms. Many different functions have been …

Genes involved in flavonoid and stilbene biosynthesis were isolated from grape (Vitis
vinifera L.). Clones coding for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase …

In this study, we demonstrate that in petunia at least four regulatory genes (anthocyanin-1
[an1], an2, an4, and an11) control transcription of a subset of structural genes from the …

Inhibition of flower pigmentation in transgenic petunia plants was previously accomplished
by expressing an antisense chalcone synthase (chs) gene under the control of the …

Chalcone (CHS) and stilbene (STS) synthases are related plant-specific polyketide
synthases that are key enzymes in the biosynthesis of flavonoids and of stilbene …

Anthocyanins are natural pigments responsible for red, purple, and blue colouration in
plants. Human consumption of anthocyanins is increasing because of the rising awareness …

The AtMYB103 gene is a member of the R2R3 MYB gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Using the GUS reporter gene, AtMYB103 expression was found to be restricted to the …

Abstract Pericarp Color1 (P1) encodes an R2R3-MYB transcription factor responsible for the
accumulation of insecticidal flavones in maize (Zea mays) silks and red phlobaphene …
