Abstract excerpt
Anthocyanins not only serve as critical pigments determining floral hues but also play essential roles in attracting insects for pollination, feeding animals and mitigating abiotic stress. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of flower color in sesame has not yet been reported. In this study, an F2 population was constructed by crossing 'Ganzhi 9' (purple-flowered) with 'BS377'...
