Anthocyanins distribution, transcriptional regulation, epigenetic and post-translational modification in fruits

Abstract

Anthocyanins have indispensable functions in plant resistance, human health, and fruit coloring, which arouse people's favorite. It has been reported that anthocyanins are widely found in fruits, and can be affected by numerous factors. In this review, we systematically summarize anthocyanin functions, classifications, distributions, biosynthesis, decoration, transportation, transcriptional regulation, DNA methylation, and post-translational regulation in fruits.

Keywords: Anthocyanins biosynthesis; DNA methylation; Epigenetic modification; Fruit; Post-translational regulation; Transcriptional regulation.
