The potato R locus is necessary for the production of red pelargonidin-based anthocyanin pigments in any tissue of the plant, including tuber skin and flower petals. The production of pelargonidins in plants requires the activity of dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) to catalyze the reduction of d...
