Loss of DET1 in High Pigment 2 Tomato Prevents High Temperature Repression of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Fruit Through HY5 Stabilization.

Abstract excerpt

Global warming impacts several aspects of plant physiology, with important negative effects on crop yield and production of secondary metabolites, such as anthocyanins. The anthocyanin content of vegetables and fruits has attracted public interest in the last two decades due to its health benefits, leading to the development of novel anthocyanin-enriched plant varieties, including purple tomato lines. In purple...
