Pigments in Fruits and Vegetables Genomics and Dietetics

Colors are ubiquitous in nature, particularly in living organisms ranging from bac teria and fungi to plants and animals. Many organisms have developed their own characteristic colors that vary by parts and developmental stage. These colors are not just visually decorative and attractive, but bio...
