Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Leaf coloration in plants, attributed to anthocyanin compounds, plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, and also for pharmaceutical and horticultural uses. However, the molecular mechanisms governing leaf coloration and the physiological significance of anthocyanins in leaves remain poorly understood. RESULTS: In this study, we investigated leaf color variation in two closely related...
