Accumulation of Anthocyanin in the Aleurone of Barley Grains by Targeted Restoration of the MYC2 Gene
26 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Blue barley grain pigmentation results from anthocyanin accumulation in the aleurone layer. Anthocyanins are known for their beneficial effects on human health. The gene encoding the MYELOCYTOMATOSIS 2 (MYC2) transcription factor is potentially responsible for the blue coloration of the aleurone. In non-pigmented barley, a single nucleotide insertion in this gene causes a frameshift mutation with a premature stop...
