Review article no. 92 a survey of antifungal compounds from higher plants, 1982-1993
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of antifungal metabolites in higher plants is presented, and a distinction is made between constitutive agents and phytoalexins, which are specifically formed in response to fungal inoculation.

TL;DR: Restriction-fragment length polymorphism mapping and complementation of mutant petunia lines showed that the flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase genes correspond to the genetic loci Hfl and Hf2.

Pigment distribution, light reflection and cell structure in petals
TL;DR: Petal structure and the distribution of pigments in petals were studied in relation to the functional anatomy of petals and the ways in which petals absorb and reflect light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural basis of blue-colour development in flower petals from Commelina communis
TL;DR: The blue flower-colour development and the stability of the colour can be explained by metal complexation of antho-cyanin and intermolecular hydrophobic association.
