Alteration of flavonoid pigmentation patterns during domestication of food crops

Abstract excerpt

Flavonoids are plant pigments that provide health benefits for human and animal consumers. Understanding why domesticated crops have altered pigmentation patterns and unraveling the molecular/genetic mechanisms that underlie this will facilitate the breeding of new (healthier) varieties. We present an overview of changes in flavonoid pigmentation patterns that have occurred during crop domestication and, where...
