Influence of Anthocyanin Expression on the Performance of Photosynthesis in Sweet Orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck.

ABSTRACT: Anthocyanins are a class of natural pigments that accumulate transiently or permanently in plant tissues, often in response to abiotic and biotic stresses. They play a photoprotective role by attenuating the irradiance incident on the photochemical apparatus and quenching oxyradicals through their powerful anti-oxidative function. The objective of the current study is to understand the impact of introducing Vitis vinifera mybA1 (VvmybA1) in 'Hamlin' sweet orange trees on various aspects, including photosynthetic performance, pigment composition, and gene expression related to photosynthesis and light harvesting. We describe the relationship between anthocyanin accumulation and photosynthetic measurements in genetically modified 'Hamlin' sweet orange trees expressing the grape
