Key message This review contains functional roles of MYB transcription factors in the
transcriptional regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in horticultural plants. This review …

Anthocyanins are secondary metabolites derived from the specific branch of the flavonoid
pathway, responsible for red, purple and blue coloration display in the flowers and fruits. The …

Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are natural flavan-3-ol polymers that contribute protection to plants
under biotic and abiotic stress, benefits to human health, and bitterness and astringency to …

The anthocyanin synthetic pathway is regulated centrally by an MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW)
complex. Anthocyanin pigmentation is an important fruit quality trait in red-fleshed kiwifruit; …

Anthocyanins are naturally occurring flavonoids derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway.
There is increasing evidence of the preventative and protective roles of anthocyanins …

The phenylpropanoid pathway leads to the production of many important plant secondary
metabolites including lignin, chlorogenic acids, flavonoids, and phenolic glycosides. Early …

The regulatory network of R2R3 MYB transcription factors in anthocyanin biosynthesis is not
fully understood in blue‐coloured berries containing delphinidin compounds. We used blue …

Soybean (Glycine max) production is severely affected in unfavorable environments.
Identification of the regulatory factors conferring stress tolerance would facilitate soybean …

Anthocyanins are important secondary metabolites in plants, and their contents and
composition determine plant flower and fruit color. Plant anthocyanins are natural edible …

Key message MdMYB16 forms homodimers and directly inhibits anthocyanin synthesis via
its C-terminal EAR repressor. It weakened the inhibitory effect of MdMYB16 on anthocyanin …
