Comparative transcriptome analysis of purple-fleshed sweet potato and its yellow-fleshed mutant provides insight into the transcription factors involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis in tuberous root
Abstract:In various plant species, many transcription factors (TFs), such as MYB, bHLH, and WD40, have been identified as regulators of anthocyanin biosynthesis in underground organs. However, the regulatory elements of anthocyanin biosynthesis in the tuberous roots of sweet potato have not been elucidated yet. Here, we selected the purple-fleshed sweet potato cultivar “Zhezi1” (ZZP) and its spontaneous yellow-fleshed mutant “Xinli” (XLY) to investigate the regulatory mechanism of the anthocyanin biosynthesis in the tu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
