Anthocyanins from Ocimum sanctum L., a promising biomolecule for development of cost-effective and widely applicable pH indicator
3 BIOTECH(2020)
摘要
A novel cost-effective and widely applicable pH indicator was developed using anthocyanins extracted from the purple subtype of Ocimum sanctum L. and common lab filter paper. This pH indicator was successfully tested to monitor the pH of a wide range of buffers, solutions, irrigation water, and soil solution. Upon testing, the indicator displayed specific colors at corresponding pH ranges. Sucrose showed a stabilizing effect for the color of the extracted anthocyanins. Further, molecular analysis indicated that the leaves from the purple subtypes showed higher transcripts abundance for chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, anthocyanidin synthase, and dihydroflavonol 4-reductase than that of the green subtype. Similarly, transcription factors HY5 and a bHLH putatively involved in the biosynthesis of anthocyanins showed up-regulation in the purple subtype of O. sanctum .
