• Biosynthesis and Regulation of Phenylpropanoids in Plants (2017, background): “NADPH-dependent anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) converts anthocyanidins (pelargonidin, cyanidin or delphinidin) to the corresponding 2,3-cis-flavan-3-ols (e.g., (¡)-epiafzelechin, (¡)-epicatechin or (¡)-epigallocatechin) (Xie et al. 2003; Zhou et al., 2015).”
• Seed Dormancy and Germination (2008, background): “Ban mutants accumulate pink flavonoid pigments in the endothelium of immature seeds, but do not contain proanthocyanins due to a mutation in the anthocyanin reductase (ANR) gene (Xie et al., 2003) resulting in grayish-green, spotted mature seeds (Albert et al, 1997; Devic et al, 1999).”
• Seed Coat Development and Dormancy (2007, background): “The genes encoding Desmodium uncinatum leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) and Arabidopsis and Medicago truncatula ANR are involved specifically in PA biosynthesis (Tanner et al., 2003; Xie et al., 2003; Dixon et al., 2005).”

• Seed coats: Structure, development, composition, and biotechnology (2005, background): “Arabidopsis plants with seeds exhibiting purple coloration were found to have a mutation in the gene BANYULS (BAN) which encodes anthocyanidin reductase (AR), an enzyme located at a major branch point between anthocyanin and PA production (Devic et al., 1999; Debeaujon et al., 2003; Xie et al., 2003”
