TaMYB-D7 alleles mediate leaf pigmentation in response to nutrient status in wheat
Plant Science Research WeeklyNitrogen and phosphorus are essential macronutrients for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and development, and phosphorus deficiency is often associated with purple pigmentation in leaves due to anthocyanin accumulation. For farmers and growers, this pigmentation can be read as a sign of phosphorus…
Review: Difficult situations cause blushing in plants, much as they do in people

Situations such as nutrient stress make plants uncomfortable, resulting in the accumulation of anthocyanins in different plant tissues and color changes in the tissues. Jezek et al. reviewed how and why anthocyanins accumulate in foliar tissues…
