Abstract excerpt
As a result of natural hybridization and human selection over millennia, the skin colors of grapes have become greatly diversified. The color is determined by the quantity and composition of anthocyanins. Color-skinned cultivars accumulate anthocyanins in their skins, whereas white-skinned cultivars do not. Myb-related transcription-factor genes such as VvmybA1 regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis. VvMYBA2r,...
