SmMYB44, a transcriptional repressor, negatively regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)
Anthocyanins are the main flavonoid secondary metabolites in plants. They not only protect plants against diverse biotic and abiotic stresses but also provide human health benefits. In this study, SmMYB44, an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, was identified from the photosensitive eggplant cultivar ‘Lanshan Hexian’. SmM...
