“…× cultorum 'Royal Violet' and 'Royal Red' were shown to comprise acylated cyanidin 3-sambubioside-5-glucosides as the main anthocyanins, and these anthocyanins (1-3) were classified into the group of 3-sambubioside-5-glucoside pattern as the glycosylation of anthocyanidins. To the best of our knowledge, plants containing this group of anthocyanins are Arabidopsis (Bloor and Abrahams, 2002;Nakabayashi et al, 2009), Cheiranthus (Tatsuzawa et al, 2006), Heliophila (Saito et al, 2011b), Lobularia (Tatsuzawa et al, 2006(Tatsuzawa et al, , 2007(Tatsuzawa et al, , 2010c, Lunaria (Tatsuzawa et al, 2006), Matthiola (Saito et al, 1995(Saito et al, , 1996Tatsuzawa et al, 2012), Orychophragmus (Honda et al, 2005), and Sinapis (Takeda et al, 1988) in the family Brassicaceae. The acylation pattern of the three anthocyanins (1-3) was rather simple, with 1 and 3 being acylated with one molecule each of hydroxycinnamic acid and malonic acid, and 2 being acylated with one molecule of hydroxycinnamic acid.…”
