Anthocyanins are natural water-soluble pigments that are important in plants because they
endow a variety of colors to vegetative tissues and reproductive plant organs, mainly …

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 …

Cannabis sativa has long been an important source of fiber extracted from hemp and both

Plants make different defense mechanisms in response to different environmental stresses.
One common way is to produce secondary metabolites. Temperature is the main …

Anthocyanins are important secondary metabolites in plants, and their contents and
composition determine plant flower and fruit color. Plant anthocyanins are natural edible …

Multi‐functional micro RNA s (mi RNA s) are emerging as key modulators of plant–pathogen
interactions. Although the involvement of some mi RNA s in plant–insect interactions has …

Plants have evolved an extensive specialized secondary metabolism. The colorful flavonoid

The brown planthopper (BPH) is the most destructive pest of rice. The MYB transcription
factors are vital for rice immunity, but most are activators. Although MYB22 positively …

Anthocyanin biosynthesis is mainly controlled by MYB–bHLH–WD40 (MBW) complexes that
modulate the expression of anthocyanin biosynthetic genes (ABGs). The MYB regulators …
