Stability of petal color polymorphism: the significance of anthocyanin accumulation in photosynthetic tissues

Abstract Background Anthocyanins are the primary source of colour in flowers and also accumulate in vegetative tissues, where they have multiple protective roles traditionally attributed to early compounds of the metabolic pathway (flavonols, flavones, etc.). Petal-specific loss of anthocyanins in p...
