Journal ArticleDOI
Light-induced expression of a MYB gene regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in red apples.
TL;DR: It is concluded that MdMYB1 coordinately regulates genes in the anthocyanin pathway and the expression level of this regulator is the genetic basis for apple skin color.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Grapevine Transcription Factor VvMYBPA1 Regulates Proanthocyanidin Synthesis during Fruit Development
TL;DR: This is the first report of a MYB factor that controls genes of the PA pathway in fruit, including both LAR and ANR, and this single MyB factor can induce ectopic PA accumulation in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic clustering of cyanogenic glucoside biosynthetic genes aids their identification in Lotus japonicus and suggests the repeated evolution of this chemical defence pathway
Adam M. Takos,Camilla Knudsen,Daniela Lai,Rubini Kannangara,Lisbeth Mikkelsen,Mohammed Saddik Motawia,Carl Erik Olsen,Shusei Sato,Satoshi Tabata,Kirsten Jørgensen,Birger Lindberg Møller,Fred Rook +11 more
TL;DR: The independent evolution of cyanogenic glucoside biosynthesis in several higher plant lineages by the repeated recruitment of members from similar gene families, such as the CYP79s, is a likely scenario.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensed tannin biosynthesis genes are regulated separately from other flavonoid biosynthesis genes in apple fruit skin
TL;DR: Results indicated that transcription of the genes for synthesis of CTs in apple fruit skin was differentially regulated from the other flavonoid pathway genes which were regulated in a coordinate fashion to control synthesis of anthocyanins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of key amino acids for the evolution of promoter target specificity of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin regulating MYB factors
Simon C. Heppel,Felix W. Jaffé,Felix W. Jaffé,Adam M. Takos,Adam M. Takos,Swen Schellmann,Thomas Rausch,Amanda R. Walker,Jochen Bogs +8 more
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the evolution of the different flavonoid regulators from a common ancestral gene by finding that exchange of a single amino acid, Gly/Arg39 in the R2 domain combined with a four amino acid motif in theR3 domain, could swap the pathway selection of TT2 and PAP4, thereby converting in planta specificity of the PA towards the anthocyanin pathway and vice versa.
