  2. Biological pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pigment

    This class of pigments is found only in the Caryophyllales (including cactus and amaranth), and never co-occur in plants with anthocyanins. [5] Betalains are responsible for the deep red color of beets. Anthocyanins (literally "flower blue") are water-soluble flavonoid pigments that appear red to blue, according to pH. They occur in all tissues ...

  3. Anthocyanin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocyanin

    Roughly 2% of all hydrocarbons fixed in photosynthesis are converted into flavonoids and their derivatives, such as the anthocyanins. Not all land plants contain anthocyanin; in the Caryophyllales (including cactus, beets, and amaranth), they are replaced by betalains. Anthocyanins and betalains have never been found in the same plant. [10] [11]

    Protocyanin is a blue pigment of cornflower (Centaurea cyanus). It is composed from succinylcyanin (anthocyanin), malonylflavone (co-pigment), iron and magnesium anions, and two calcium ions to stabilize the complex. Interesting is that the same anthocyanin when is not in complex with the metal ions is present in red rose petals. [8]

    Blue color inflorescences of Hydrangea macrophylla. A metalloanthocyanin is a chemical complex giving color to petals of certain plants.. These complexes are self-assembled, supramolecular metal complex pigment composed of stoichiometric amounts of anthocyanins, flavones, and metal ions.

    This results in almost 100-fold higher concentration of anthocyanins in the engineered fruits compared to the conventional varieties. [6] The inventors of the GM purple tomato, Jonathan D. G. Jones and Cathie Martin of the John Innes Centre, founded a company called Norfolk Plant Sciences to commercialize the purple tomato.

  7. Chromoplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromoplast

    Anthocyanins and flavonoids located in the cell vacuoles are responsible for other colors of pigment. [ 1 ] The term "chromoplast" is occasionally used to include any plastid that has pigment, mostly to emphasize the difference between them and the various types of leucoplasts , plastids that have no pigments.
