Genomic structural variation underlies cell type-specific betacyanin variegation in Chenopodium quinoa - Stress Biology The allotetraploid crop quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) accumulates red/violet betacyanins, which function as vital stress-mitigating antioxidants. We investigated the genetic basis of red/green variegati...

Multiple mechanisms explain loss of anthocyanins from betalain‐pigmented Caryophyllales, including repeated wholesale loss of a key anthocyanidin synthesis enzyme In this study, we investigate the genetic mechanisms responsible for the loss of anthocyanins in betalain-pigmented Caryophyllales, considering our hypothesis of multiple transitions to betalain pig.....
