Expression differences of anthocyanin biosynthesis genes reveal regulation patterns for red pear coloration

TLDR
The expression patterns of genes encoding enzymes indicated that ANS and UFGT were decisive genes for anthocyanin biosynthesis for red-skinned pear, and their different expressions led to the coloration differences between occidental and oriental pears.
Abstract
Key message This research reveals the different expression patterns of anthocyanin biosynthesis enzyme genes and transcription factors in six red-skinned pear cultivars with different genetic backgrounds.

An R2R3 MYB transcription factor associated with regulation of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in Rosaceae

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used gene specific primers to show that the three activators of apple anthocyanin (myb10/myb1/myBA) are likely alleles of each other.

Map-based cloning of the pear gene MYB114 identifies an interaction with other transcription factors to coordinately regulate fruit anthocyanin biosynthesis.

TL;DR: In this study, a candidate R2R3 MYB TF, PyMYB114, was identified by linkage to the quantitative trait loci for red skin color on linkage group 5 in a population of Chinese pear, and this interaction network provides insight into the coloration of fruits and the interaction of different TFs to regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis.

Genome-Wide Identification, Evolution and Functional Divergence of MYB Transcription Factors in Chinese White Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri)

TL;DR: The phylogenetic, evolution and expression analyses of the MYB gene family in Chinese white pear establish a solid foundation for future comprehensive functional analysis of Pbr MYB genes.

Transcriptome profiling reveals differential gene expression in proanthocyanidin biosynthesis associated with red/green skin color mutant of pear (Pyrus communis L.)

TL;DR: It is speculated that the regulation of PA biosynthesis might be a key factor for this red/green color mutant, and this study can serve as a valuable new resource laying a solid foundation for functional gene identification in the anthocyanin pathway of red-skinned pear and provide a good reference for relevant research on molecular mechanisms of color variation in other pear species.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes Related to Color Fading of 'Red Bartlett' ( Pyrus communis L.).

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that color fading of ‘Red Bartlett’ was closely linked to reduced anthocyanin biosynthesis, increased anthocianin degradation and suppression of anthoclynin transport, and provided novel evidence for the involvement of light signals in the color fades of red-skinned pears.

Evolutionary and comparative analysis of MYB and bHLH plant transcription factors

TL;DR: This review compares the MYB and bHLH gene families from structural, evolutionary and functional perspectives and suggests that the next few years are likely to witness an increasing understanding of the extent to which conserved transcription factors participate at similar positions in gene regulatory networks across plant species.
