Anthocyanins are the most common class of floral pigments. They are responsible for most of the blue, purple, pink, and red colors we see in flowering plants. The basic structure of flavonoid pathway ...

The anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway (ABP) consists of three key stages, involving structural genes such as CHS, DFR, and UFGT, and is regulated by transcription factors like MYB, bHLH, and WD40.

In plant cells, the pigment anthocyanin is transported to a membrane-bounded organelle called the vacuole for storage. A previously unidentified transport pathway involving vacuolar-membrane ...

Anthocyanins are part of a plant's communication and protection plan. Synthesized by specialized metabolic pathways, they filter harmful radiation and corral cell-damaging free radicals.Scientists ...

Of the 20,000 varieties of dahlia flowers, only 10 to 20 kinds are black in color. Now researchers say they've solved the molecular mystery of how these rare flowers get their dark hues.

The presence of red flesh in apple cultivars is caused by the MYB10 gene, a localized genetic protein and transcription factor for anthocyanin pathways. Anthocyanins — which are a type of water ...

New genes often evolve when one gene is duplicated, and one or both of the copies evolve new functions. Many studies have explored the mechanism behind this evolution, primarily thought to be the ...

Of the 20,000 varieties of dahlia flowers, only 10 to 20 kinds are black in color. Now researchers say they've solved the molecular mystery of how these rare flowers get their dark hues.

But the pathway proved too long for the cell, which tended to use the additional genes to produce its own metabolites instead of anthocyanins, said Jones, currently a member of the faculty at ...

Drugs that regulate the SIRT6 pathway may, one day, be useful in the battle against cancer. So, eating berries each day may or may not improve your health and increase your lifespan.
