Local and chemical distribution of phlorotannins in brown algae (2004, unknown): “Neill et al. (2002) reported that anthocyanins (condensed tannins) are located within the palisade and spongy mesophyll layers of the leaf in Elatostema rugosum and scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS).”
Anthocyanin Function in Vegetative Organs (2008, background): “For example, in Elatostema rugosum, a sprawling understorey herb from New Zealand, extracts from red leaves had a significantly greater LMWA activity than did those from green leaves, which could be attributed primarily to the presence of anthocyanins ( Neill et al. 2002b ).”
Nature's Swiss Army Knife: The Diverse Protective Roles of Anthocyanins in Leaves (2004, background): “In the young, red leaves of Elatostema rugosum, an understorey herb from New Zealand, anthocyanins are the predominant phenolic component of the LMWA pool [78].”
Anthocyanins in Leaves and Other Vegetative Organs: An Introduction (2002, unknown): “Anthocyanins may mitigate oxidative damage in leaves subjected to biotic or abiotic stress (Yamasaki, 1997; Neill et al., 2002).”
Increased anthocyanin and flavonoids in mango fruit peel are associated with cold and pathogen resistance (2016, background): “Anthocyanins have been demonstrated to have a photoprotective function through their role as antioxidants (Mittler, 2002; Neill et al., 2002; Hughes et al., 2005).”
