The purple tomato variety 'Indigo Rose' (InR) is favored due to its bright appearance, abundant anthocyanins and outstanding antioxidant capacity. is associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis in 'Indigo Rose' plants. However, residual anthocyanins still present in seedlings and fruit peel indicated there was an anthocyanin induction pathway that is independent of HY5 in plants. The molecular mechanism of anthocyanins formation in 'Indigo Rose' and mutants is unclear. In this study, we performed omics analysis to clarify the regulatory network underlying anthocyanin biosynthesis in seedling and fruit peel of 'Indigo Rose' and mutant. Results showed that the total amount of anthocyanins in both seedling and fruit of InR was significantly higher than those in the mutant, and most genes associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis exhibited higher expression levels in InR, suggesting that play pivotal roles in flavonoid biosynthesis both in tomato seedlings and fruit. Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) results revealed that physically interacts with and , while could interact with protein. Unexpectedly, both and were found to interact with , and by yeast two-hybrid assay. Suppression of by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) retarded the purple coloration of the fruit peel, indicating an important role of in the regulation of anthocyanin accumulation. These results deepen the understanding of purple color formation in tomato seedlings and fruits in an -dependent or independent manner via excavating the genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis based on omics analysis.

Background: Wheat seeds display different colors due to the types and contents of anthocyanins, which is closely related to anthocyanin metabolism. In this study, a transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis between white and purple color wheat pericarp aimed to explore some key genes and metabolites involved in anthocyanin metabolism.
Results: Two wheat cultivars, a white seed cultivar Shiluan02-1 and purple seed cultivar Hengzi151 were used to identify the variations in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accumulated flavonoids (DAFs).

Resveratrol is an important phytoalexin that adapts to and responds to stressful conditions and plays various roles in health and medical therapies. However, it is only found in a limited number of plant species in low concentrations, which hinders its development and utilization. Chalcone synthase (CHS) and stilbene synthase (STS) catalyze the same substrates to produce flavonoids and resveratrol, respectively.

Purinergic signaling plays a major role in aging and neurodegenerative diseases, which are associated with memory decline. Blackcurrant (BC), an anthocyanin-rich berry, is renowned for its antioxidant and neuroprotective activities. However, evidence on the effects of BC on purinergic signaling is lacking.

The pigments present in the fibers of naturally colored cotton provide excellent antibacterial and environmentally friendly properties, making these colored fibers increasingly favored by the textile industry and consumers. Proanthocyanidins (PAs), the critical pigments responsible for the color of brown cotton fiber, are produced on the endoplasmic reticulum and subsequently transported to the vacuole for polymerization and/or storage. Previous studies have identified GhTT12 as a potential transmembrane transporter of PAs in Gossypium hirsutum, with GhTT12 being a homolog of Arabidopsis Transparent Testa 12 (TT12).
