Mechanisms of bullseye boundary formation in Hibiscus trionum petal patterning
… across the petal epidermis remains obscure. Hibiscus trionum is an emerging model system producing flowers with a striking bullseye pattern on the adaxial petal epidermis. Cells in the proximal region are flat, elongated with cuticular striations and accumulate purple anthocyanin pigments, …

Polarity establishment and signalling mechanisms controlling patterning in Hibiscus Trionum petals
… patterns can mediate plant-animal communication. Hibiscus trionum flowers produce a striking bullseye pattern by specifying cells with different pigmentation, shape, and texture in different regions of the adaxial petal epidermis. However, the mechanisms controlling cell differentiation across the …

Flavonoid diversification in Hibiscus and its impact on petal pattern evolution
… of these patterns remain less understood. In Hibiscus trionum, a new model system, bullseye patterns are formed by flavonoid pigments including anthocyanins and flavonols. Their flowers display a contrast between a purple base and an off-white distal region. H. trionum belongs to the Trionum …

Understanding the development, evolution, and function of bullseye pigmentation patterns in Hibiscus trionum
… function of the bullseye pigmentation pattern on Hibiscus trionum petals. The bi-coloured bullseye pattern of H.trionum is created from contrast in cell shape, cuticle texture, and pigmentation between the bottom and top of the petal. The bottom petal appears shiny and purple because cells in this …
