Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Cs5g31400
  • Gene Symbol: CsTT8
  • Gene Name:
  • Genome:
  • Species: Citrus sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

  • CsTT8 regulates anthocyanin accumulation in blood orange through alternative splicing transcription.
  • A homologous gene of basic-helix–loop–helix AtTT8 in Arabidopsis thaliana was identified in juice sac cells of pulp tissues from blood orange (Citrus sinensis cv ‘Tarocco’), which was designated as CsTT8 in this study.
  • Our findings suggest that TT8, rather than dysfunctional Δ15-TT8, is possibly involved in modulating anthocyanin biosynthesis and its transport into vacuoles by proton gradients.
  • Increased mRNA levels of the dysfunctional alternative splicing transcript may act as a negative feedback to downregulate TT8 expression and limit anthocyanin accumulation in blood oranges.
  • CsTT8 is involved in citrus ripening by regulating abscisic acid and gibberellin metabolisms.
