Evolution of the Subgroup 6 R2R3-MYB Genes and Their Contribution to Floral Color in the Perianth-Bearing Piperales
Flavonoids, carotenoids, betalains, and chlorophylls are the plant pigments responsible for floral color. Anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids, are largely responsible for the red, purple, pink, and blue colors. R2R3-MYB genes belonging to subgroup 6 (SG6) are the upstream regulatory factors of the a...
