Abstract excerpt
We studied the variability of two classes of flavonoid pigments (flavonols and anthocyanidins) in seven sweet pea mutant lines. Flavonols proved to be synthesized before anthocyanidins during the color formation of the petals. The top content of flavonols was observed at the third stage of flower development, while the anthocyanidins content peaked at the fifth stage. The pigments with the more hydroxylated B...
