Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveals the anthocyanin biosynthesis mechanisms in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) leaves under different light qualities.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is a popular fruit with an abundance of anthocyanins in its leaves and fruits. Light is one of the pivotal environmental elements that affects plant growth and development, but the regulatory mechanism between light quality and anthocyanin formation is poorly understood.

Methods

An integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis was performed to investigate the effects of white (control), blue (B), red (R), and red/blue (60R/40B) light on blueberry growth and reveal the potential pathway controlling anthocyanin biosynthesis in blueberry leaves.

Results

The anthocyanin content was significantly improved by the blue and red/blue light when compared with white light, whereas there was a significant reduction in the
