Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: MdMYB1–1
  • Gene Name:
  • Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
  • Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

  • The effect of promoter methylation on MdMYB1 expression determines the level of anthocyanin accumulation in skins of two non-red apple cultivars.
  • The MdMYB1 transcription factor gene plays an important role in the biosynthesis of anthocyanin in apple after bag removal, but little is known about how MdMYB1 transcription is regulated.
  • Transcript levels of MdMYB1, the master regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple, increased, and showed a correlation with anthocyanin content in both cultivars after bag removal.
  • The MdMYB1–1 allele co-segregates with red skin phenotypes and regulates anthocyanin synthesis in apple skins under natural conditions.
  • This indicates that the presence of MdMYB1–1 probably does not explain the formation of red skins in ‘Granny Smith’ fruits after bag removal.
