Abstract
Several lines of the genetically well defined Matthiola incana (Brassicaceae) concerning the anthocyanin biosynthesis (line 02, 06, 10, and 14) store the anthocyanin pigment as crystals (line 06) or in anthocyanoblasts (“balls”) in the epidermal cells (line 02, 10, and 14) of the flower petals. The genetic constitution of these genotypes is in addition to the basic factors f+, g+, and e+, b+b+ or bb (cyanidin or pelargonidin type), ll, u+u+, and v+v+ or vv, demonstrating that the ll, u+u+ constitution is responsible for precipitation of anthocyanins in a certain structure indepen­ dent of the other modificationally acting genes b and v. The ll, u+u+ types accumulate preferentially acylated 3-biosides.
