Unraveling the mechanism of flower color variation in Brassica napus by integrated metabolome and transcriptome analyses.

ABSTRACT: Brassica napus is one of the most important oil crops in the world. Breeding oilseed rape with colorful flowers can greatly enhance the ornamental value of B. napus and thus improve the economic benefits of planting. As water-soluble flavonoid secondary metabolites, anthocyanins are very important for the synthesis and accumulation of pigments in the petals of plants, giving them a wide range of bright colors. Despite the documentation of over 60 distinct flower shades in B. napus, the intricacies underlying flower color variation remain elusive. Particularly, the mechanisms driving color development across varying flower color backgrounds necessitate further comprehensive investigation. This research undertook a comprehensive exploration through the integration of tra
