摘要: To attract pollinators, plants have evolved flowers of elaborate architecture, alluring fragrance, and captivating natural beauty Humans selected bred a great number solely for the vibrant colors distinctive patterns pigmentation their flowers. The yellow, orange red displayed by many flowers, fruits, roots other non-green plant tissues organs quite often result from synthesis accumulation, in specialized plastids known as chromoplasts, class isoprenoid compounds referred to carotenoids.
