| Research Abstract |
The yellow-flowered characteristics and identify the yellow pigment in Pelargonium section Hoarea for its pigment composition and content were investigated. The petals of parents had yellow and yellow-orange color, whereas those F1 plants had varied from white, yellow, yellow-orange and orange color. The major carotenoids of all species were lutein(50-90%) together withβ-carotene and the unidentified carotenoods as minor component. The difference in color appeared to be due to the variation in the total carotenoid concentration and small changes in the concentration of the minor carotenoids.
