The genetics and biochemistry of floral pigments

Article Abstract:

Examination of the biosynthesis, regulation and contribution to flower coloration of betalains, the carotenoids and anthocyanins are described. All these three families of pigments play an important role in ecological functions by attracting animals that are pollinating.

The generation of Ca (super 2+) signals in plants

Article Abstract:

The calcium ion is firmly established as a ubiquitous intracellular second messenger in plants. The various mechanisms responsible for generating the stimulus-induced increases in [Ca (super 2+)] (sub cyt) known as Ca (sup 2+) signals are reviewed.
