Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: CsMYB3
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Citrus sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

• CsMYB3 and CsRuby1 form an ‘Activator-and-Repressor’ Loop for the Regulation of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Citrus.
• CsMYB3 was expressed in anthocyanin-pigmented tissues, and the expression was closely associated with that of Ruby1, which is a key anthocyanin activator.
• Overexpression of CsMYB3 in Arabidopsis resulted in a decrease in anthocyanins under nitrogen stress. Overexpression of CsMYB3 in the background of CsRuby1-overexpressing strawberry and Arabidopsis reduced the anthocyanin accumulation level.
• This study shows that CsMYB3 plays a repressor role in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis and proposes an ‘activator-and-repressor’ loop model constituted by CsRuby1 and CsMYB3 in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in citrus.
