Abstract excerpt
The visual phenotypes afforded by flavonoid pigments have provided invaluable tools for modern genetics. Many Arabidopsis transparent testa (tt) mutants lacking the characteristic proanthocyanidin (PA) seed coat pigmentation and often failing to accumulate anthocyanins in vegetative tissues have been characterized. These mutants have significantly contributed to our understanding of flavonoid biosynthesis,...
