| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Anthocyanins can be induced by environmental factors such as low-temperature and play essential roles in plant color formation. In this study, leaves of Aesculus chinensis Bunge var. chinensis with different colors under natural low-temperature in autumn were collected and grouped into green leaf (GL) and red leaf (RL). To reveal the underlying mechanism of color formation in RL, a combined analysis of the metabolome and transcriptome was conducted with GL and RL. Metabolic analyses revealed that total anthocyanin content and primary anthocyanin components were increased RL relative to GL and cyanidin was the main anthocyanin compound in RL. Transcriptome analysis provided a total of 18720 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which 9150 DEGs were upregulated and 9570 DEGs were downregulated in RL relative to GL. KEGG analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in flavonoid biosynthesis, phenylalanine metabolism, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. Furthermore, co-expression network analysis indicated that 56 AcMYB transcription factors were highly expressed in RL compared with GL, among which AcMYB113 (an R2R3-MYB TF) had a strong correlation with anthocyanins. Overexpression of AcMYB113 in apple resulted in dark-purple transgenic calluses. In addition, the transient expression experiment showed that AcMYB113 enhanced anthocyanin synthesis by activating pathways of anthocyanin biosynthesis in leaves of Aesculus chinensis Bunge var. chinensis. Taken together, our findings reveal new insights into the molecular mechanism of anthocyanin accumulation in RL and provide candidate genes for the breeding of anthocyanin-rich cultivars |
