Gene Details:

• Gene ID: LG9804161
• Gene Symbol: RLL4
• Gene Name: Red Lettuce Leaves 4
• Genome: Lsat_Salinas_v8
• Species: Lactuca sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The characterization of multiple polymorphic genes in this study provides the necessary molecular resources for the rational breeding of lettuce cultivars with distinct levels of red pigments and green cultivars with high levels of health-promoting flavonoids.
• RLL4 gene suppresses the accumulation of anthocyanins.
• The mutations in RLL2, rll3 and RLL4 activate anthocyanin biosynthesis, showing disruptive selection for leaf colour during domestication of lettuce.
