Background • Light intensity and hue angle decreases (Rosen, et al.) • Coloration affects sales (Fults, et al.)
Background • Light intensity and hue angle decreases (Rosen, et al.) • Coloration affects sales (Fults, et al.) • 2,4-D harmful, LD50 of 1500 ppm (MSDS found at http://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/96919.htm)
Goal • To determine visual color, anthocyanin accumulation, and UFGT accumulation differences
Anthocyanin Biosynthetic Pathway LDOX UFGT leucocyanidinanthocyanidinanthocyanin 3-glucoside (Keifenheim, et al.)
Hypotheses With 2,4-D application: • Increase in UFGT accumulation
Hypotheses With 2,4-D application: • Increase in UFGT accumulation • Change in color (Rosen, et al.)
Hypotheses With 2,4-D application: • Increase in UFGT accumulation • Change in color (Rosen, et al.) • Increase in anthocyanin accumulation

Conclusion • Visual color significantly changed (light intensity, hue angle)
Conclusion • Visual color significantly changed (light intensity, hue angle) • Anthocyanin accumulation unchanged
Conclusion • Visual color significantly changed (light intensity, hue angle) • Anthocyanin accumulation unchanged • UFGT accumulation decreased
Future Work • Look at petunidin (purple) vs. pelargonidin (red) anthocyanins
