Abstract excerpt

KEY MESSAGE: RNA-seq, bulked segregant analysis, anthocyanin quantification, and WGCNA identified Pl1, Lc1, P1, and Wrky33 as important regulatory factors for enhancing anthocyanin content in maize pericarp. Anthocyanins are plant pigments that can be used as natural food colorants. We developed Midwestern, purple corn lines with enhanced anthocyanin content exclusively in the pericarp tissue layer: two lines...
