Abstract
Anthocyanin is an essential pigment in all major horticultural crops especially in ornamental trees. Magnolia wufengensis (new species of Magnolia) with red color flower was recently found as a popular species for ornamental use, but anthocyanin synthesis and regulation in M. wufengensis are poorly understood. Herein, transcriptome analysis was used to decipher the gene network associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis. An R2R3-like MwMYB-1 transcription factor was found. MwMYB-1 overexpression resulted in anthocyanin accumulation in tobacco and Arabidopsis. MwMYB-1 worked independently rather than forming a protein complex with bHLH or WD40 protein. According to MwMYB-1 DAP-seq analysis in Arabidopsis, the MwMYB-1 transcription factor preferred to bind the “AAGAGAG” motif (DREME-5) in the third exon of the AtMYB75 gene. The yeast one hybrid assay and transcription activity assay further confirmed this. Thus, MwMYB-1 activated AtMYB75 gene expression and conducted cascade amplification of anthocyanin biosynthesis. Taken together, our findings provide a novel understanding of anthocyanin biosynthesis regulation in M. wufengensis and can be used to promote agronomic trait improvement in tree species.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
