Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc10g086290
• Gene Symbol: SlAN2-like
• Gene Name: R2R3-MYB transcription factor SlAN2-like
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• Anthocyanin Fruit encodes an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, SlAN2-like, activating the transcription of SlMYBATV to fine-tune anthocyanin content in tomato fruit.
• The R2R3-MYB transcription factor SlAN2-like (Solyc10g086290) was considered the best candidate gene for Aft.
• SlAN2-like is the best candidate gene for the Aft locus.
• The expression of SlAN2-like is responsive to light, and the functional SlAN2-like can activate the expression of both anthocyanin biosynthetic genes and their regulatory genes, suggesting that SlAN2-like acts as a master regulator in the activation of anthocyanin biosynthesis.
• Expression of a functional SlAN2-like gene driven by the fruit-specific promoter in a tomato cultivar led to the activation of the entire anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway and high-level accumulation of anthocyanins in both the peel and flesh.
