Sentence examples for fruit colouration from inspiring English sources

Moreover, the molecular mechanism for 'Radiant' fruit colouration provides reference information for understanding the light regulatory mechanism involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids and for designing the next generation of apple breeding.

Recently, the delay in fruit colouration displayed by the slow-ripening clementine mutant 'Tardivo' (Citrus clementina Hort. Ex Tan).

Although some authors have tried to distinguish between the two with by using width of the stem, or by differences in fruit body colouration, it is acknowledged that these characteristics are variable, and depend on environmental factors.

Of 88 female vines screened for fruit flesh colour, only four had fruit with some red colouration and the red colour was faint and confined to the area around the core towards the pedicel end of the fruit.

Black colouration of fruits and flowers is not frequent but has been studied in a few cases e.g. in cherry [ 11], lisanthus [ 12], viola [ 13], tulips [ 14], poppy [ 15], leaves of Ophiopogon planiscapus[ 16], and even in grains, such as black rice [ 17].

The results showed crosstalk between the flavonoid biosynthetic genes and the involvement of key transcription factors such as McMYB4, McMYB7, McMYB10, and McMYB16 in the regulation of the ratio of anthocyanins and flavanols, which accounted for the different colouration of the fruit peel and flesh under shade conditions.

Anthocyanin is one of the most important groups of flavonoid which is responsible for red colouration of pomegranate fruit [ 54].

However, the pattern of pigment distribution in 39B3 in November differed significantly from the parental, showing lower percentages of phytoene, phytofluene and β-citraurin, and higher amounts of β-carotene, neoxanthin, α-cryptoxanthin and lutein (Table 1), characteristics of chloroplastic tissues, in good agreement with the delayed external colouration in 39B3 fruit.

As a rule, the colouration of flowers and fruits is achieved with products from three metabolic pathways: the terpenoid (carotenoids), the phenylpropanoid (flavonoids) and the betalain (betalains) (Davies 2004; Grotewold 2006; Lee 2007).

Their colouration is determined by ontogenetic colour changes during moulting.

We have performed candidate gene mapping in a fruit tree crop and have provided genetic evidence that red colouration in the fruit core as well as red foliage are both controlled by a single locus named Rni.
