The variegated flower colors of many plant species have been shown to result from the insertion or excision of transposable elements into genes that encode enzymes involved in anthocyanin synthesis. To date, however, it has not been established wh...
Higher plants can produce a wide variety of anthocyanin molecules through modification of the six common anthocyanin aglycons that they present. Thus, hydrophilic anthocyanin molecules can be formed and stabilized by glycosylation and acylation. T...

In delphiniums (Delphinium grandiflorum), blue flowers are produced by the presence of 7-polyacylated anthocyanins. The polyacyl moiety is composed of glucose and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (pHBA). The 7-polyacylation of anthocyanin has been shown to b...
The whole-genome sequence of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) cv. 'Francesco' was determined using a combination of different new-generation multiplex sequencing platforms. The total length of the non-redundant sequences was 568 887 315 bp, co...
Although delphiniums are famed for their blue flowers, a few varieties display reddish flowers, such the pale-pink garden varieties 'Ehime Kou 9 (Kou 9)' and 'F-1 Super Happy Pink (SHP),' and the orange-red flowered species Delphinium nudicaule (N...
