title: Anthocyanins in The Dark Purple Anthers of Tulipa gesneriana: Identification of Two Novel Delphinidin 3-O-(6-O-(Acetyl-α-Rhamnopyranosyl)-β-Glucopyranosides).
abstract: Two novel anthocyanins, delphinidin 3-O-(6-O-(2-O-acetyl-α-rhamnopyranosyl)-β-glucopyranoside) and delphinidin 3-O-(6-O-(3-O-acetyl-α-rhamnopyranosyl)-β-glucopyranoside), were identified from the anthers of Tulipa gesneriana. These and delphinidin 3-O-(6-O-(α-rhamnopyranosyl)-β-glucopyranoside) made up over 80% of the anthocyanin content in the dark purple anthers and could be responsible for the intense color of the anthers.
