Exposed red (anthocyanic) leaves of Quercus coccifera display shade characteristics

Young leaves in some plants are transiently red due to the presence of anthocyanins, which disappear upon maturation. We investigated the hypothesis that light attenuation by anthocyanins may lead to a shade acclimation of the photosynthetic machinery in red leaves. We took advantage of the intra-sp...
