Pigmentation in Anthers

Anther pigmentation is determined in the same flower where corolla color was evaluated. Note the presence of reddish or red-brown pigments and their location in the anthers. These pigments are different from the normal yellow of the anthers (light yellow, intense yellow, even orange are considered normal). Often for this reading it is necessary to use large flower buds close to opening, in which the thecae have not yet opened the pollen pore and let the pollen out. In this process, the detail of this area has been lost; in open flowers, the pigmentations of the anther apices should not be read
