Abstract
SUMMARY: Coleoptile anthocyanin pigmentation in the hexaploid variety of wheat, Hope, is due to at least eight anthocyanins including four acylated forms. All are derivatives of either cyanidin or peonidin. Two homoeologous chromosomes, 7A and 7B, are involved in anthocyanin production. Both chromosomes carry genes that promote the synthesis of the same anthocyanins from flavonoid precursors. The roles of chromosomes 7A and 7B in anthocyanin biosynthesis and the consequences of interallelic interaction and dominance of possibly homoeologous loci are discussed.Keywords
