Anthocyanins in woody ornamental plants: biosynthesis, regulatory networks, and trade-offs in stress adaptation

Anthocyanins are important flavonoid metabolites that are instrumental to plant adaptation to adverse environmental conditions. Increasing evidence has shown that both biotic and abiotic stresses can markedly affect anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation, thereby influencing plant defense capacity, stress tolerance,...
