| The
relative concentrations of cyanidin and pelargonidin affects the spathe
colour in anthuriums. It is a difficult task to relate the visible
colour with the anthocyanins in the spathes. It was possible from the
present study to allocate the genotypes or lines maintained by the
Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, to 4 different colour groups
(Red, Orange, Coral and White) based on the presence of cyanidin and
pelargonidin along with an unknown pigment. This newly identified
pigment had an absorption maxima of 540 nm, with a very high Rf value. |
