Comparative transcriptome analysis of Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl. provides a rich molecular resource for research on coloration mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Lupinus polyphyllus is rich in color, making it a well-known horticultural ornamental plant. However, little is known about the genes related to anthocyanin and carotenoid biosynthesis in L. polyphyllus. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on eight different colors of L. polyphyllus. A total of 1.13 billion clean reads were obtained and assembled into 89,124 unigenes, which were then aligned with six databases, resulting in the identification of 54,823 annotated unigenes. Among these unigenes, 76 and 101 were involved in the biosynthetic pathway of carotenoids and anthocyanins, respectively. In addition, 505 transcription factors were revealed, which belonged to the MYB, R2R3-MYB, NAC, bHLH, and WD40 families. A tota
