Transcriptome sequencing and anthocyanin metabolite analysis involved in leaf red color formation of Cinnamomum camphora.

ABSTRACT: Cinnamomum camphora, a key multifunctional tree species, primarily serves in landscaping. Leaf color is crucial for its ornamental appeal, undergoing a transformation to red that enhances the ornamental value of C. camphora. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this transformation remain largely unexplored. In this study, green leaf (GL), color turning red leaf (RL) and whole red leaf (WRL) were obtained to measure pigment contents, while GL and RL were analyzed for transcriptomic alterations. A decline in chlorophyll content and a rise in anthocyanins were observed during the transition from green to red leaves. Using LC MS/MS, 11 types of anthocyanins showed significant accumulative differences, with cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside exhibiting the greatest disparity. Comparative RNA-se
