Study on the changes of miRNAs and their target genes in regulating anthocyanin synthesis during purple discoloration of cauliflower curd under low temperature stress.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cauliflower is widely cultivated all over the world is attributed to its palatable flavor, high levels of anti-cancer compounds, and diverse array of nutrients. Exposure to extremely cold stress during production can result in a more frequent occurrence of purple discoloration in cauliflower curds. In response to cold stress, plants naturally produce anthocyanins to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated as a defense mechanism.

Methods

This research involved conducting mRNA sequencing analysis on cauliflower curds both before and after exposure to cold stress treatment.

Results

It was determined that the up-regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis-related genes CHS, CHI, DFR, ANS, UGFT, PAP1/2, and MYBL2 occurred significantly in re
