PsERF1B-PsMYB10.1-PsbHLH3 module enhances anthocyanin biosynthesis in the flesh-reddening of amber-fleshed plum (cv. Friar) fruit in response to cold storage.

ABSTRACT: Flesh-reddening usually occurs in the amber-fleshed plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) fruit during cold storage but not during ambient storage direct after harvest. It is not clear how postharvest cold signal is mediated to regulate the anthocyanin biosynthesis in the forming of flesh-reddening yet. In this study, anthocyanins dramatically accumulated and ethylene produced in the 'Friar' plums during cold storage, in comparison with plums directly stored at ambient temperature. Expression of genes associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis, as well as transcription factors of PsMYB10.1, PsbHLH3, and PsERF1B were strongly stimulated to upregulated in the plums in the period of cold storage. Suppression of ethylene act with 1-methylcyclopropene greatly suppressed flesh-
