Article Abstract
Background: The Flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase gene(F3'H) is an important structural gene in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway of plants, which has been proven to be involved in the color formation of organs such as leaves, flowers, and fruits in many plants. However, the mechanism and function in barley are still unclear.
Results: In order to explore the molecular mechanism of the grain color formation of purple qingke, we used the cultivated qingke variety Nierumzha (purple grain) and the selected qingke variety Kunlun 10 (white grain) to conduct transcriptomic sequencing at the early milk, late milk and soft dough stage. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was used to construct weighted gene co-expression network related to grain color formation, and three key modules (brown, yellow, and turquoise modules) related to purple grain of qingke were selected. F3'H (HORVU1Hr1G094880) was selected from the hub gene of the module for the yeast library, yeast two-hybrid (Y2H), subcellular localization and other studies. It was found that in purple qingke, HvnF3'H mainly distributed in the cytoplasm and cell membrane and interacted with several stress proteins such as methyltransferase protein and zinc finger protein.
Conclusions: The results of this study provide reference for the regulation mechanism of anthocyanin-related genes in purple grain qingke.

Article Synopsis
- The study isolated the full-length cDNA sequence of the HvANS gene from purple and white Qingke varieties, revealing differences in the open reading frame (ORF) length and a nonsynonymous mutation that may affect anthocyanin synthesis.
- Analysis showed that the HvANS protein is highly conserved with a close resemblance to the related gene in barley, and its expression varies significantly between tissue types and varieties, being most active in the seed coats.
- The HvANS gene's promoter interacts with key regulatory proteins involved in anthocyanin production, indicating its important role in the synthesis pathways and opening avenues for further research on its regulatory mechanisms.

Blue aleurone of barley is caused by the accumulation of delphinidin-based derivatives. Although these compounds are ideal nutrients for human health, they are undesirable contaminants in malt brewing. Therefore, the ability to add and remove this trait easily would facilitate breeding barley for different purposes.

Barley has abundant anthocyanin-rich accessions, which renders it an ideal model to investigate the regulatory mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis. This study functionally characterized two transcription factors: Ant1 and Ant2. Sequence alignment showed that the coding sequences of 1 and 2 are conserved among 11 colored hulless barley and noncolored barley varieties.
