Plant stress response and adaptation via anthocyanins: A review

Global climate change has caused an increase in extreme weather events and subjected plants to a variety of abiotic stress. Plants being rooted in the soil are unable to avoid abiotic stress by relocation. Therefore, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to cope with abiotic stress that negatively affects photosynthesis, respiration, cell water potential, and eventually normal growth and development. Anthocyanins, a kind of flavonoid, are water-soluble natural pigments of various colors in plants, which can safeguard plants from a wide range of environmental stress. Anthocyanins have antioxidant functions and play an indispensable role in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, anthocyanins…
