Front cover: A kingfisher holding an aluminum ion flies toward hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ). Hydrangea flowers have a wide variety of colors, but the pigment is the same, delphinidin 3‐glucoside, in both red and blue flowers. One of the keys that makes flowers blue is aluminum ions, and it is believed that the formation of a complex between delphinidin 3‐glucoside, aluminum ion and copigment (e.g. 5‐O ‐caffeoylquinic acid) results in blue flowers (Ito et al ., (2018) Molecules 23, 1424). Three aluminum transporters have been identified in hydrangea so far, one of which was reported in Genes to Cells (Negishi et al ., (2013) Genes to Cells 18, 341‐352). Designed by TRAIS Co., Ltd. (Kobe, Japan).

前盖：一只抱着铝离子的翠鸟飞向绣球（绣球花）。绣球花的颜色多种多样，但红色和蓝色的花朵中的色素都是相同的，翠雀素3-葡糖苷。使花朵变成蓝色的关键因素之一是铝离子，据信，翠雀素3-葡萄糖苷，铝离子和色素（例如5- O-咖啡酰奎尼酸）之间的络合物的形成会导致蓝色花朵（Ito等。 ，（2018）Molecules 23，1424）。迄今为止，在绣球中已鉴定出三种铝转运蛋白，其中一种在《基因传给细胞》（Negishi等人，（2013）《基因传给细胞》中有报道18，341-352）。由TRAIS有限公司（日本神户）设计。
