Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Degradation Mechanisms in Solanaceous Vegetables: A Review (2018, background): “Besides, anthocyanins often accumulate in young vegetative tissues and sun-exposed side of fruits to protect them from photoinhibition and photobleaching under light stress without significantly compromising photosynthesis (Steyn et al., 2002; Gould, 2003; Li and Cheng, 2008; Zhu et al., 2017).”
Anthocyanin Function in Vegetative Organs (2008, background): “This light-filtering effect of anthocyanins has been shown many times both to reduce the severity of photoinhibition and to expedite photosynthetic recovery in red as compared to green leaves (see reviews by Steyn et al. 2002; Gould and Lister 2005).”
Nondestructive Estimation of Anthocyanin Content in Grapevine Leaves (2009, background): “The pigment, which is localized in vacuoles of epidermal cells, serves as a filter: an internal light trap for excessive solar radiation (Chalker-Scott 1999, Close and Beadle 2003, Steyn et al. 2002).”
Photoinhibition in lichens depends on cortical characteristics and hydration (2004, background): “Such a role has also been assumed for anthocyanins located in the epidermis of plants (Steyn et al. 2002).”

Nature's Swiss Army Knife: The Diverse Protective Roles of Anthocyanins in Leaves (2004, background): “Others have argued that the photoprotective [96] or the antioxidant [97] properties of anthocyanins are paramount.”
