Abstract excerpt
The anthocyanins are pigments responsible for a wide range of colours in plants, from blue, red and purple, play essential biological roles as well as their genes are evolutionarily conserved. Purple sweet potatoes have anthocyanins as the predominant colour, even though they are present in orange roots masked by carotenoids. Several studies have focused on molecular aspects of anthocyanin genes, mainly in wild...
