Zinc finger protein transcription factor Malus domestica ZFP7 (MdZFP7) regulates #anthocyanin biosynthesis by integrating #JA and #GA signals.
Ji et al. take us through the molecular mechanism behind the process.

The vibrant purple color of cooked blueberries comes from anthocyanins, natural pigments that change color depending on pH.
In an acidic environment (like lemon juice in your filling), they appear redder, while in a basic environment, they lean toward blue.

Pistacia chinensis is a popular street tree in parts of California, including Davis. It provides a pretty stunning Fall display & resistance to abscission means the fruits hang festive in Winter.
