Abstract:
BACKGROUND Commercially available poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) varieties prevalently accumulate cyanidin derivatives and show intense red coloration. Orange-red bract color is less common.

RESULTS Red hues correlated with anthocyanin composition and concentration and showed common dark red coloration in cultivars '...     »
