Abstract
Considerable progress in the elucidation of the genetics, chemistry and biochemistry of the flavonoid pigments has made flavonoid biosynthesis an attractive system for molecular biological work and for the manipulation of plant pigmentation. Several flavonoid genes have been cloned and different approaches have been used for their introduction and expression in receptor plants, mainly Petunia. Despite a number of successes in colour manipulation, some serious problems still remain.
