Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Purple and Green Non-Heading Chinese Cabbage and Function Analyses of BcTT8 Gene.

ABSTRACT: Non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis) is an important vegetative crop in the south of China. As an antioxidant, anthocyanin is the major quality trait for vegetables with purple leaves or petioles. However, the molecular biosynthetic mechanism of anthocyanin in non-heading Chinese cabbage has not been explained exclusively. In this study, two non-heading Chinese cabbage with contrasting colors in the leaves were used as the materials for RNA-seq. A total of 906 DEGs were detected, and we found that the anthocyanin and flavonoid biosynthetic pathways are significantly enriched in the purple NHCC. The transcriptome result was verified by RT-qPCR. Though bioinformatics analysis, BcTT8 was selected as the candidate gene for the regulation of anth
