Abstract excerpt
Anthocyanin biosynthesis is often regulated by MYB transcription factors that are classified into AN2 and C1 subgroups. The AN2 subgroup regulates the late genes in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway of eudicots, whereas the C1 subgroup controls both early and late genes in monocots. Anthocyanin is a major pigment in Asiatic hybrid lilies (Lilium spp.), with LhMYB12 being the first AN2 subgroup in monocots. In...
