“…Azuma, Yakushiji, Koshita and Kobayashi [49] reported expression pattern of anthocyanin biosynthesis-related MYB genes (VlMYBA1-3, VlMYBA2, VlMYBA1-2) in grapevine berries and recorded variation in the skin of berries kept in darkness or light at low (15˚C) or high (35˚C) temperature, whereas some other examined MYB genes (MYB5a, MYB5b) of the pathway did not react to the treatments. The highest anthocyanin production levels were measured in grapevine berries kept in light at 150°C [55]. Zhou, Shi and Xie [55] also reported In Arabidopsis that higher nitrogen concentration decrease in the expression of PAP1 and TT8, genes from the TTG1-GL3/TT8-PAP1 (WD40-bHLH-MYB) anthocyanin biosynthesis regulatory complex, and an increase in the expression levels of three lateral organ-boundary domain genes (LBD37, LBD38, LBD39) that perform as negative regulators for biosynthesis.…”

Anthocyanins are naturally occurring compounds, member of the flavonoid groups of photochemical, involved in defense against the damaging effects of UV irradiation in plants and protect from many oxidants. The anthocyanins, group of pigments are relatively small and diverse flavonoid family in nature, and responsible for the attractive colors, red and purple to blue in many plants. Presence of pigments in flowers and fruits seems to provide attraction for pollination and aiding seed distribution, it also provides antiviral and antimicrobial activities, however their occurrence in the vacuoles remains ambiguous. During the last decades, anthocyanin gene expression and many structural genes encoding enzymes has been extensively studied in fruits, flowers and leaves in many plants.In addition, the genetic regulating mechanism, their biosynthesis and other factors involved are well described. The biosynthesis pathway of anthocyanin is a complex with diverse branches responsible to produce variety of metabolites. In general Anthocyanins, production through the flavonoid path, are a class of vital phenolic compounds. Over six thousand diverse anthocyanins have been reported from various species. So far, the potential health benefits of anthocyanins have been reported in the contexts of their antioxidant properties. Anthocyanins are also extensively studied for their several positive effects on body. Based on these facts, the present review briefly summarizes recent advances, highlighting the importance of biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanins, thus will serve to encourage advance investigation in this field.

“…PAP1 is expressed at the highest level in comparison with its homologs. The metabolic engineering of red pap1-D cells has demonstrated that the overexpression of PAP1 alone can activate the anthocyanin pathway especially the expression of late pathway genes [17,54,61]. In addition, the overexpression of PAP1 in several other plant species has resulted in obvious increases in anthocyanin levels [62-66].…”

Arabidopsis thaliana is the first model plant, the genome of which has been sequenced. In general, intensive studies on this model plant over the past nearly 30 years have led to many new revolutionary understandings in every single aspect of plant biology. Here, we review the current understanding of anthocyanin biosynthesis in this model plant. Although the investigation of anthocyanin structures in this model plant was not performed until 2002, numerous studies over the past three decades have been conducted to understand the biosynthesis of anthocyanins. To date, it appears that all pathway genes of anthocyanins have been molecularly, genetically and biochemically characterized in this plant. These fundamental accomplishments have made Arabidopsis an ideal model to understand the regulatory mechanisms of anthocyanin pathway. Several studies have revealed that the biosynthesis of anthocyanins is controlled by WD40-bHLH-MYB (WBM) transcription factor complexes under lighting conditions. However, how different regulatory complexes coordinately and specifically regulate the pathway genes of anthocyanins remains unclear. In this review, we discuss current progresses and findings including structural diversity, regulatory properties and metabolic engineering of anthocyanins in Arabidopsis thaliana.

“…Based on the DNA-binding ability, the bHLH proteins are divided into two groups, “DNA-binding bHLH” and “atypical bHLH” with no DNA-binding ability 1, 4 . Recent studies have shown that typical bHLH transcription factors participate in various plant growth and development processes, such as light signaling 5 , hormone signaling 6 , anthocyanin biosynthesis 7, 8 , fruit development 9 and stress responses 10 . For example, overexpression of PIF5 induces leaf senescence and chlorophyll degradation in dark-grown Arabidopsis 11 .…”

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins are a large family of transcription factors that control various developmental processes in eukaryotes, but the biological roles of most bHLH proteins are not very clear, especially in tomato. In this study, a PRE-like atypical bHLH gene was isolated and designated as SlPRE2 in tomato. SlPRE2 was highly expressed in immature-green fruits, moderately in young leaves, flowers, and mature-green fruits. To further research the function of SlPRE2, a 35 S:PRE2 binary vector was constructed and transformed into wild type tomato. The transgenic plants showed increased leaf angle and stem internode length, rolling leaves with decreased chlorophyll content. The water loss rate of detached leaves was increased in young transgenic lines but depressed in mature leaves. Besides, overexpression of SlPRE2 promoted morphogenesis in seedling development, producing light-green unripening fruits and yellowing ripen fruits with reduced chlorophyll and carotenoid accumulation in pericarps, respectively. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that expression of the chlorophyll related genes, such as GOLDEN 2-LIKE and RbcS, were decreased in unripening 35 S:PRE2 fruit, and carotenoid biosynthesis-related genes PHYTOENE SYNTHASE1A and ζ-CAROTENE DESATURASE in ripening fruit were also down-regulated. These results suggest that SlPRE2 affects plant morphology and is a negative regulator of fruit pigment accumulation.
