Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: PaMYB10
  • Gene Name: MYB transcriptional regulator 10
  • Genome:
  • Species: Prunus avium

Functional Descriptions:

  • The R2R3-MYB transcription factor PaMYB10 is involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis in apricots and determines red blushed skin.
  • Transient PaMYB10 overexpression in ‘Luntaixiaobaixing’ fruits resulted in the red blushed skin at the maturation stage.
  • Real-time qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the transcript levels of PaMYB10 and seven genes responsible for anthocyanin synthesis were significantly higher in blushed than in nonblushed apricots, which was consistent with the accumulation of anthocyanin.
  • Taken together, these data reveal that three anthocyanins are responsible for the blushed skin of apricots, identify PaMYB10 as a positive regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis in apricots, and demonstrate that blush formation depends on light.
