Abstract

The anthocyanin content of male and female cones of 27 species of Abies, Picea, Pinus, Pseudotsuga and Tsuga ( Pinaceae) was determined. Only four anthocyanins were found: cyanidin 3-glucoside, delphinidin 3-glucoside, peonidin 3-glucoside and petunidin 3-glucoside. Cyanidin 3-glucoside was the major anthocyanin in most of the species analyzed. The methylated anthocyanins (peonidin 3-glucoside and petunidin 3-glucoside) were rare and found in low concentrations in half of the species analyzed.
