The red leaf coloration of Empire Red Leaf Cotton (ERLC) (Gossypium hirsutum L.), resulted from anthocyanin accumulation in light, is a well known dominant agricultural trait. However, the underpin molecular mechanism remains elusive. To explore this, we compared the molecular biological basis of anthocyanin accumulation in both ERLC and the green leaf cotton variety CCRI 24 (Gossypium hirsutum...

The effect of fungal elicitors and calcium-channel modulators on the anthocyanin production in callus cultures of Daucus carota was studied. It was found that the addition of fungal elicitors resulted in higher anthocyanin accumulation on the 3rd day of culture, but they resulted in lower levels of anthocyanin on the 21st day. Fungal elicitor treatment also affected growth of the cultures, as e...

Effects of nitrogen (N) deficiency and sucrose (Suc) addition on regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis and their relationship were investigated in this study. Radish sprouts subjected to N deficiency had 50% higher anthocyanin accumulation than when grown in Hoagland solution (a nutrient medium with all macronutrients). The contents of endogenous soluble sugars (Suc, fructose, and glucose) in ...

background: pomegranate fruit (punica granatum l.) is a rich source of anthocyanin pigments resulting in vibrant colours and anti-oxidant contents. although the intensity and pattern of anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruit are strongly influenced by r2r3-myb transcription factors, little is known about the regulation and role of myb in anthocyanin pathway of pomegranate.objectives: the present stu...

Momordica charantia L. (cucurbitaceae), is a plant whose fruits are widely consumed in Chad. Seeds, green and ripe pulps of the this were subject study. The total polyphenols, antioxidants, flavonoids anthocyanins evaluated by Folin - Ciocalteu, DPPH, iron trichloride pH-differential methods respectively. polyphenol obtained 9.368 mg GAE/g for seeds extract, 9.068 pulp extract 8.505 mature extr...

Anthocyanin is a major pigment in vegetative and floral organs of most plants and plays an important role in plant evolution. The anthocyanin regulatory genes are responsible for regulating transcription of genes in the anthocyanin synthetic pathway. To assess evolutionary significance of sequence variation and evaluate the phylogenetic utility of an anthocyanin regulatory gene, we compared nuc...

The present study provides an in-depth characterisation of the non-anthocyanin and anthocyanin phenolic compounds potato peels from ten coloured varieties. Furthermore, underexplored bioactive potential (antioxidant, cytotoxic anti-inflammatory capacities) studied is comprehensively analysed. Among phenolics, caffeic a caffeoylquinic acid were found in highest concentrations all samples, which ...
