Research Abstract |
As a result of the study of flower colors and pigments in the 7 genera of brassicaceous ornamentals, the new flavonoids have been confirmed as attributing factors of copigmetation. It was thought that these results can serve as effective basic data for the new color flower breeding in the cultivars of brassicaceous ornamentals in the future. Especially, it was thought that new color flower breeding in brassicaseous ornamentals based on pigment structures and copigmentation of other genera were effective to introduce the blue or yellow flower colors for Matthiola incana, which is one of the most sought-after cut flowers.
