The identification of a vacuolar iron transporter involved in the blue coloration of cornflower petals.

Phytochemistry - 1 Oct 2013

Yoshida Kumi, Negishi Takashi

Abstract excerpt

The blue petal color of the cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) is caused by protocyanin, a kind of metalloanthocyanin, which is a self-assembled supramolecular metal complex pigment. Protocyanin is composed of six molecules of anthocyanin, six molecules of flavone, one ferric ion, and one magnesium ion. The ferric ion is essential for blue color development. Here, we identify the vacuolar iron transporter gene (CcVIT)...
