KIX8 coordinates leaf development and light-induced stress responses in Medicago truncatula and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract excerpt

Anthocyanins are flavonoid secondary metabolites primarily found in plant organs such as fruits and flowers, where they provide pigmentation and protect against light-induced stress. Although their levels are typically low in healthy green leaves, anthocyanins may accumulate in response to stress conditions. Plants have evolved intricate mechanisms to ensure proper leaf development while minimizing unnecessary...
