Clivia miniata is a popular breeding variety. The production of anthocyanin has been studied in Clivia species and the presence of key genes in anthocyanin production, chalcone synthase (CHS) and dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) confirmed. However, it is currently unknown to what extent these genes...
