Anthocyanins in the “red” flowers of Petunia exserta

The percentage of individual anthocyanins in Petunia exserta flowers was 79% cyanidin-3-glucoside, 8% cyanidin-3-rutinoside, 7% pelargonidin-3-glucoside and 6% pelargonidin-3-rutinoside. The flower petal pH was 5.4. Petunia exserta should be very useful in breeding because its genetic background is...

Description
Summary:The percentage of individual anthocyanins in Petunia exserta flowers was 79% cyanidin-3-glucoside, 8% cyanidin-3-rutinoside, 7% pelargonidin-3-glucoside and 6% pelargonidin-3-rutinoside. The flower petal pH was 5.4. Petunia exserta should be very useful in breeding because its genetic background is different from the existing red-flowered garden petunias.
