Identification of regulatory genes involved in anthocyanin accumulation in radish leaves using bulk segregant analysis.

ABSTRACT: Anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid, are crucial metabolites in most vacuolar plants, significantly contributing to plant coloration and defense responses. Owing to their potent anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, anthocyanins have gained popularity, with extensive application prospects in the health industries. Although the mechanism underlying anthocyanin accumulation in radish fleshy roots has been explored, the processes governing its accumulation in radish leaves remain largely unexplored. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying anthocyanin accumulation, which is responsible for leaf color in radish. We developed self-crossing, hybrid F1 generations, back-crosses, and F2 generation populations using M17 and RA9 pure-line culti
