TL;DR: Suppression subtractive hybridization and RNA hybridization analysis of the purple tomato plants indicated that the overexpression of ANT1 caused the upregulation of genes that encode proteins in both the early and later steps of anthocyanidin biosynthesis as well as genes involved in the glycosylation and transport of Anthocyanins into the vacuole.

Identification and characterization of an anthocyanin mutant (ANT1) in tomato
TL;DR: In this paper, a transgenic plant that contains a transformation vector that causes the overexpression of an ANT1 gene was used to obtain a plant that can be selectively bred to have an allele of or mutation in an endogenous ANT 1 gene that caused the over-expression of the gene compared to plants lacking the allele or mutation.
