Distribution of Flower Color and Anthocyanidin in Korean Wild Plants

Abstract

|
Anthocyanidins were analyzed by means of HPLC for 70 species of Korean wild plants, and their distributions of flower color and anthocyanidin were investigated. The variation of flower color was broad, ranging from yellow red to purple blue. Pale red purple and purple were found with considerable frequency. Major and minor anthocyanidins were cyanidin and delphinidin, respectively and their occurrence frequency was high. Thus cyanidin and delphinidin were assumed to be very important in the expression of flower color in Korean wild plants. Delphinidin seemed to be more readily methylated than cyanidin because delphinidin derivatives were more distributed than cyanidin derivatives. Hydroxylated-methylated anthocyanidin combinations were more distributed than hydroxylated anthocyanidin combinations. Development of flower color would be of great value in Korean wild plants because of simple combination of anthocyanidin.
