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 play a variety of adaptive roles in both vegetative tissues and reproductive
organs of plants. The broad functionality of these compounds requires sophisticated …

Background The bitter and astringent taste of tea and tea extract is still not favored by many
consumers, which limits its applications to bakery foods and functional foods. Many bitter …

The phenylpropanoid pathway gives rise to lignin, flavonoids, and other metabolites and is
regulated by MYB transcription factors. Many R2R3-MYB transcriptional activators are …

Anthocyanins act as polyphenolic pigment that is ubiquitously found in plants. Anthocyanins
play a role not only in health-promoting as an antioxidant, but also in protection against all …

Anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin (PA) accumulation is regulated by both myeloblastosis
(MYB) activators and repressors, but little information is available on hierarchical …

Key message This review contains functional roles of MYB transcription factors in the
transcriptional regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in horticultural plants. This review …

The secondary cell wall is an important carbon sink in higher plants and its biosynthesis
requires coordination of metabolic fluxes in the phenylpropanoid pathway. In Arabidopsis …

Anthocyanins are secondary metabolites derived from the specific branch of the flavonoid
pathway, responsible for red, purple and blue coloration display in the flowers and fruits. The …

Mulberry fruits with high concentrations of anthocyanins are favored by consumers because
of their good taste, bright color, and high nutritional value. However, neither the regulatory …
