In an expedition for green-energy generation and to lower the cost per watt of solar energy, environmentally friendly biotic colorants were separated from Tectona grandis seeds. The prime colorant in extract is pelargonidin which sensitizes titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based photo anodes. pelargonidin-sensitized TiO2 nanomaterials endured structural, photosensitive, spectral current-voltage interpre...

Purple carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.) accumulate large amounts of cyanidin-based anthocyanins in their taproots. Cyanidin can be glycosylated with galactose, xylose, and glucose in sequence by glycosyltransferases resulting in cyanidin 3-xylosyl (glucosyl) galactosides in purple carrots. The first step in the glycosylation of cyanidin is catalysis by UDP-galactose: c...

Abstract A comparative metabolomic analysis was performed using purple potato tubers and derived red mutant to investigate the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis. The metabolome revealed 19 key differential metabolites including 10 flavonoids 4 nucleotides. As a metabolite, pelargonidin responsible for mutant, other had correlation with it. To further analyse regulatory mechanism metabolite...

This study investigated genetic polymorphism related to anthocyanin composition variation in lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) flower petals. Three different bands were detected by genomic polymerase chain reaction using specific primers based on the reported flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H) gene sequence. Our revealed that they allelic. They named F3'5'H1-1, F3'5'H1-2, and f3'5'h1-2. F3'5'...
