“…These two common plant pigments are known to occur both alone and in combination with floral tissue (e.g. van Raamsdonk 1993 ; Schemske and Bradshaw 1999 ; Irwin and Strauss 2005 ), although species whose flowers are solely coloured by carotenoids appear to be relatively rare ( Ohmiya 2011 ).…”

This study examines the biochemical basis of red flowers in the tomato family, Solanaceae. We show that red-flowered species have converged on the same floral hue using either the sole production of red anthocyanin pigments or, more commonly, the dual production of purple or blue anthocyanins and orange carotenoid pigments. The use of blue anthocyanins in red flowers appears to differ from other groups, and suggests that the genetic changes underlying evolutionary transitions to red flowers may not be as predictable as previously suggested.

“…Because of the enormous variation in the cultivated tulip (Loos & Van Duin 1991;Booy et al 1993;Van Raamsdonk 1993b;present study) and because of the multidimensionally distributed variation, a hierarchical cultivar classification is most suitable, as was also found in lettuce (de Vries & Van Raamsdonk 1994).…”

SUMMARY A total of 43 Tulipa gesneriana (section Tulipa) cultivars, 25 cultivars and wild accessions belonging to 11 species of sections Tulipa and Eichleres and three species hybrids were subjected to multivariate analysis based on data of 30 morphological characters recorded in two subsequent years. The main division according to earliness of flowering, which has been in use since Clusius made this division early in the 17th century, was confirmed by the distribution of the accessions in the principal component plots. The repeatability of measurements is high for most characters, as is deduced from the Pearson correlation coefficient per character between years. A cultivar classification system is proposed with two levels. The acceptance of a two‐level cultivar classification is based on the structure of variation encountered and is a continuation of four centuries of tulip cultivar classification. The top level should include three supergroups for Early, Mid‐season and Late flowering cultivars. Recommendations are made concerning the restoration of certain cultivar‐groups and the placement of some cultivars. It can be concluded that multivariate methods provide basic insight in the diversity among cultivars. This information can be used as a basis for the construction of cultivar classifications.

“…Within each of these five broad color groups, additional variation was observed in hue and intensity. In other crops with complex flower color variation such as tulip (van Raamsdonk, 1993) and gladiolus (Cohen et al, 1986), intensive investigation indicates complex colors are the result of quantitative variation among multiple biochemical pathways on flower pigment saturation. A more complex rating scale for FC that reflected all observed variation was impractical under field conditions.…”

Breeding of crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia) in the United States has focused on developing hybrids between parents with disease or pest resistance and those with good floral characteristics. The objective of this work was to study the general and specific combining ability of several horticulturally important traits in crosses between pest-resistant parents and those with saturated flower colors. Ten crapemyrtle parents were tested in a factorial mating design including 25 of the 29 possible families. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) for all traits for the general combining ability of parents. The cross between ‘Arapaho’ and ‘WHIT IV’ displayed the best specific combining ability for a desirable combination of height, leaf-out time, bloom time, and flower color based on current breeding objectives. Overall, this study revealed the importance of both additive and nonadditive genetic variability in crapemyrtle, suggesting that an integrated breeding strategy to capture both additive and dominance variance would be appropriate for producing new, improved crapemyrtle clones for the four traits evaluated.
