Coordination of anthocyanin decline and photosynthetic maturation in juvenile leaves of three deciduous tree species

Juvenile leaves in high-light environments commonly appear red as a result of anthocyanin pigments, which play a photoprotective role during light-sensitive ontogenetic stages. The loss of anthocyanin during leaf development presumably corresponds to a decreased need for photoprotection, as photosyn...
