Description for Anthocyanins as Flower Pigments: Feasibilities for flower colour modification
Paperback. The economic value of cut flowers is considerable. Because novelty is a driving force in this section of horticulture, the development of new flower varieties is of great interest. This study reviews the various aspects connected with the molecular engineering of flower colours. It concentrates on the anthocyanins. Num Pages: 164 pages, 2 black & white illustrations, 27 black & white tables. BIC Classification: PSF; PST. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 236 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 268.
To date, several possibilities exist to change the genetics of plants including classical breeding and modern molecular biological approaches such as recombinant DNA techniques and plant trans formation methods. The aim of this publication is to review the feasibilities, offered by the current technologies, to modify flower colours. Due to the great importance of anthocyanins as flower pigments, the main part of this study deals with this class of flavonoids responsible for most red-, purple- and blue colours. Being electron deficient, the flavylium nucleus of the anthocyanins is highly reactive and undergoes - dependent upon pH - readily structural transformations ... Read more
