Proanthocyanidins are oligomeric flavonoids that promote plant disease resistance and
benefit human health. Banana is one of the world's most extensively farmed crops and its …

The evolution of l‐DOPA 4, 5‐dioxygenase activity, encoded by the gene DODA, was a key
step in the origin of betalain biosynthesis in Caryophyllales. We previously proposed that l …

Background MYBs are among the largest transcription factor families in plants.
Consequently, members of this family are involved in a plethora of processes including …

The flavonoid biosynthesis is a well-characterised model system for specialised metabolism
and transcriptional regulation in plants. Flavonoids have numerous biological functions such …

In this study, we investigate the genetic mechanisms responsible for the loss of
anthocyanins in betalain‐pigmented Caryophyllales, considering our hypothesis of multiple …

The R2R3-MYB genes comprise one of the largest transcription factor gene families in
plants, playing regulatory roles in plant-specific developmental processes, defense …

Abstract Objectives Croton tiglium Linn.(Euphorbiaceae) is an ancient medicinal plant that
has been used for a long time, which is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions …

Flavonols are structurally and functionally diverse biomolecules involved in plant biotic and
abiotic stress tolerance, pollen development, and inhibition of auxin transport. However …

Background Most eukaryotic genes comprise exons and introns thus requiring the precise
removal of introns from pre-mRNAs to enable protein biosynthesis. U2 and U12 …

Background Anthocyanins are important contributors to coloration across a wide
phylogenetic range of plants. Biological functions of anthocyanins span from reproduction to …
