| Abstract: | Fifteen spray Chrysanthemum cultivars were
grown under polyhouse and open field condition during winter seasons of
2004-2005 to estimate anthocyanin in flower tepals of the cultivars. The
anthocyanin was estimated (mg/100g of tepals) from freshly harvested flower
tepals that were collected at 5 days interval from flower opening to flower
colour fading stage. The results indicated that the anthocyanin content of
flower tissues of spray chrysanthemum cultivars was non-significantly more in
polyhouse condition as compared to open field, whereas those cultivars which
produced mostly whitish coloured flower, viz. ‘Sarad Mala’, ‘White Anemone’,
‘Kelvin Brisk’ and ‘Lokenath’ showed more anthocyanin in open field. The
cultivars ‘Tata Red’, ‘Red Gold’, ‘Arati’, ‘Apsara Violet’ and ‘Jaya’ has been
screened out as high anthocyanin content cultivars and these may be used to
exploit for extraction of anthocyanin as organic colour of plant origin. |
