Abstract

Cyanidin glycoside biosynthesis was completely blocked in coleoptiles and almost completely in first internodes of “green” (drsP) in contrast to “red” (dRsP) seedlings of isogenic strains of Sorghum vulgare. Since the green seedlings can accumulate two types of deoxyanthocyanins, the block was peculiar to the synthesis of cyanidin and not to anthocyanins in general. Mature leaves of the green strain, however, could form the cyanidin glycoside in amounts equivalent to the red strain.
