“…Anthocyanins are a major class of compounds forming floral pigmentation. The accumulation of anthocyanins is well characterized both at the gene expression and biochemical levels and comprehensive analysis as well as metabolic engineering of the anthocyanin composition of flowers has been reported several times (Moyano et al, 1996;Winkel-Shirley, 2001;Mol et al, 1999;Nielsen et al, 2005). Concomitantly with anthocyanins, flavanones and flavonols are present in petals as anthocyanin co-pigments and contribute to the different shades of flowers (Nielsen et al, 2005;Fukui et al, 2003).…”

“…Tissues of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana cultivars contain 3,5-O-β-D-diglucosides of pelargonidin, cyanidin, peonidin, delphinidin, petunidin and malvidin (Nielsen et al, 2005). In the cultures of Gynura bicolor treated with JA-Me, the composition of anthocyanins in roots was the same as in the leaves of intact plants (Shimizu et al, 2010).…”

The influence of methyl jasmonate on anthocyanin accumulation in roots of Kalanchoe blossfediana plants was studied. Methyl jasmonate (JA-Me), at a concentration of 5.0 to 40.0 mg.l -1 , substantially increased anthocyanin accumulation in roots of intact plants, when it was applied as a solution under natural light conditions. The production of anthocyanin depended on the concentration of methyl jasmonate and the age of the plant. The stimulatory effect was higher in older plants of K. blossfeldiana than in younger ones. When leaves were removed methyl jasmonate slightly stimulated anthocyanin accumulation compared with intact plants. The obtained results indicate that leaves are necessary for the anthocyanin accumulation in the roots. In isolated roots methyl jasmonate did not affect the accumulation of anthocyanins in light conditions. Seven anthocyanins were documented in the roots of control plants and 8 anthocyanins in the roots of JA-Me treated ones. JA-Me increased the level of anthocyanins in roots of old K. blossfeldiana plants 6.8, 6.0 and 3.6-folds, after 4, 8 and 14-days of treatment, respectively.

“…In their study, the flavonoid content increased significantly under sunlight when compared with an extract obtained from K. pinnata specimens collected in the same season (autumn), but growing in the shade. Nielsen et al (2005) studied the content of flavonoids in flowers of 16 Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln. varieties, and the higher amount obtained was of 0,099 mg/g of quercetin.…”

This study compares the development of Kalanchoe brasiliensis and Kalanchoe pinnata, which are medicinal species known as "saião" and "folha da fortuna" that are used interchangeably by the population for medicinal purposes. The experiment consisted of 20 plots/species planted in plastic bags with homogeneous substrate in a randomized design, which grown under light levels (25%, 50%, 70%, full sunlight) at environment temperature, and a treatment under a plastic with greater temperature range than the external environment. It was obtained for K. pinnata a greater plant height, total length of sprouts, stems, production and dry matter content of leaves than that obtained for K. brasiliensis, which achieved higher averages only for the length of lateral branches. The species showed increases in height, which varied in inverse proportion to the light, and it was observed the influence of temperature in K. pinnata. The production and dry matter content of leaves were proportional to the luminosity; the same occurred in the thickness of leaves for K. brasiliensis. In the swelling index and Brix degree, K. brasiliensis showed higher averages than K. pinnata. In relation to the total content of flavonoids it was not observed significant differences for both species. The analyzed parameters showed the main differences in the agronomic development of the two species.
