Anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins are among the most numerous and widely distributed
pigments in land plants. Given that these pigments are the valuable compounds, as stress …

Arabidopsis thaliana is the first model plant, the genome of which has been sequenced. In
general, intensive studies on this model plant over the past nearly 30 years have led to …

Anthocyanins contribute to the quality and flavour of fruits. They are produced through the
phenylpropanoid pathway, which is regulated by specific key genes that have been …
