FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
As anthocynin are recognized for their diverse function in plant development and beneficial effects for human health, a lot of research is still needed to clarify the bioactive effects of different flavonoid compounds. Among them, an important research target would be to clarify the detailed course of reaction and controlling system involved in the anthocyanin biosynthesis. Another challenging aspect would be to clarify the effects of various environmental factors on anthocyanin biosynthesis in various plants. Understanding of how anthocyanin functions in plant defense and environmental stress responses should provide insights into plant disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance.
