Genome-wide identification and functional roles relating to anthocyanin biosynthesis analysis in maize.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anthocyanin is an important class of water-soluble pigments that are widely distributed in various tissues of plants, and it not only facilitates diverse color changes but also plays important roles in various biological processes. Maize silk, serving as an important reproductive organ and displaying a diverse range of colors, plays an indispensable role in biotic resistance through its possession of anthocyanin. However, the copy numbers, characteristics, and expression patterns of genes involved in maize anthocyanin biosynthesis are not fully understood. In this study, gene numbers, distribution, structure, cis-elements of the anthocyanin synthetic gene family were identified, and then the potential transcriptional factors were predicted by two analyzed methods.
