Comparison of anthocyanin distribution in berries of Haskap (Lonicera caerulea subsp. edulis (Turcz. ex. Herder) Hultén), Miyama-uguisukagura (Lonicera gracilipes Miq.), and their interspecific hybrid using imaging mass spectrometry.

Abstract excerpt

Haskap (Lonicera caerulea subsp. edulis), a shrub with violet-blue fruits, is distributed mainly in Hokkaido, Japan. Miyama-uguisukagura (Lonicera gracilipes), a species related to Haskap, produces red fruits. Interspecific hybridization of Miyama-uguisukagura and Haskap was performed to introduce novel characteristics in the resulting hybrids. The shape and color of the interspecific hybrid fruits differed from...
