“…This correlates with the findings in our study, where the granules accommodating anthocyanin pigment were observed in all the tissues studied, although some were detected in different parts of the cell. At these parts of the tissues (Figure 8A-F), anthocyanin was only found in an individual cell or groups of several cells in one or two rows, as previously reported in Impatiens balsamina [109] The glandular trichomes found in the floral part of the C. caudatus were larger, immobile, and colorless, with several of the trichomes red-pigmented, indicating the accumulation of anthocyanin in them. The accumulation of anthocyanin in trichomes is supported by the previous examination on the foliar anatomy of Castanopsis fissa, suggesting the photoinhibition activity as a defense mechanism for protecting the tissue against high light intensity [110,111].…”

Cosmos caudatus Kunth. or “king’s salad” contains high values of nutritional compounds that act as health promoters. Although widely consumed for its medicinal value, information on phytochemical contents and their biosynthesis in the species is scarce. Among the interesting compounds are the anthocyanins that possess a dual role; an antioxidant and natural colorant. A complete anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in C. caudatus was elucidated using transcriptomics, metabolomics, and anatomical approaches in this study. The transcriptomic analysis revealed genes encoding enzymes in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway and the genes encoding the transcription factors relevant to the latter pathway. A total of 11 anthocyanins of cyanidin, pelargonidin, and delphinidin derivatives that are significantly abundant in the species were identified, correlating with the anthocyanin mainstream gene pathway. The occurrence of anthocyanin was further validated by light microscopy. Anthocyanin pigments in C. caudatus were detected at the epidermal layer of the leaf, stem, and flower, and at the cortex of stem and root. To our knowledge, this is the first work that has delineated the complete anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in Malaysia’s underutilized plant, C. caudatus Kunth. This study correlated multi-omics data that will help integrate systems biology and synthetic biology, for a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanism and characterization of the anthocyanin biosynthesis using heterologous expression studies.

“…Because its flowers have great attractiveness in terms of coloring molecules, being a possible natural source, in addition to conferring health benefits due to the bioactive properties of these compounds. However, Aras et al (2007), investigated the location of anthocyanins in different parts of I. balsamina, stating that the pigment production capacity of this species is directly related to everyday factors, such as environmental and nutritional conditions.…”

Background:The market for edible flowers has grown exponentially due to consumers demand. This has been motivated by the concern to include healthier foods in the daily diet, leading to a great interest in these natural matrices. However, and although the consumption of this type of matrices are popularly associated with health benefits, scientific studies are still scarce. The industry seeks to satisfy the consumers demands and, at the same time, seeks to launch new challenges in the sector, in order to outline new conservation and production strategies. Although there are several flowers with edible potential in nature, many are still little explored or unnoticed, so this type of study is increasingly sought after. Scope and approach: The present review intendeds to explore the context of edible flowers as well as their conditions of production and consumption. Then, focusing on the characterization of the genus Impatiens, which, although is still little explored, gathers data on its chemical and nutritional characterization, bioactivities, and the possible exploration of natural pigments and industrial application. Key findings and conclusions: Several studies have been focused on the chemical characterization of flowers, evaluation their edibility, as well as validating their bioactive potential. In particular, the genus Impatiens is characterized by presenting perennial and succulent herbs with attractive colors, normally found in tropical forests. There are countless studies on the bioactive activities present in these edible flowers. In addition, its pigmentation has a direct relationship with the presence of several compounds, especially anthocyanins and their derivatives. These bioactive compounds have a great interest to the food industry and consumers, due to their diverse health benefits that are provided by their regular consumption.

“…Anthocyanins are present in Impatiens spp. leaves, CH flowers, and stems, and cause the variable red spots on the lip petals of I. capensis (Aras et al, 2007). Condensed tannins are also present in Impatiens spp.…”

“…These CH flowers were digitally photographed for flower color analysis, then frozen at −80°C until chemical extractions. Floral anthocyanins were extracted from one early and one late CH flower, using a modified protocol (Mancinelli, 1990;Aras et al, 2007;Brusslan, 2007;Soper Gorden and Adler, 2016). Briefly, frozen CH flowers were placed in acidified methanol (1% HCl v/v) at 4°C in the dark for 48 h, removed by filtering, and absorbance of the solution measured at 530 nm and 657 nm with a spectrophotometer (Genesys 10S UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, Thermo-Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).…”

Consequences of multiple flower–insect interactions for subsequent plant–insect interactions and plant reproduction

Plants often interact with a wide range of antagonists and mutualists simultaneously, and their combined effects may not be accurately predicted by studies manipulating single species (e.g., Strauss and Irwin, 2004; Morris et al., 2007; Terhorst et al., 2018). Thus, there has been recent interest in studying plant-insect interactions in a broader community context to better understand the ecological and evolutionary impacts of non-additive effects on plants (i.e., statistically significant interactions between different treatments; Strauss
