茄科蔬菜花青素苷分子调控研究进展

Advances in the molecular regulation of anthocyanins in solanaceous vegetables

摘要:

花青素苷是一种分布广泛的水溶性色素，不仅赋予了果实多彩的外表，还是天然食用色素的重要来源。近年来有关茄科蔬菜花青素苷的研究逐渐增多，文中从花青素苷结构及其生物合成途径、茄科蔬菜中花青素苷合成代谢的结构基因和调节基因、影响合成的环境因素等方面进行回顾和总结，为进一步阐明茄科蔬菜花青素苷的合成及调控机理、更好利用花青素苷进行果色品质育种的创新提供一些参考。

Abstract:

Anthocyanins are widely distributed water-soluble pigments that not only give the fruit colorful appearances, but also are important sources of natural edible pigments. In recent years, the interest on anthocyanins of solanaceous vegetables is increasing. This paper summarized the structure of anthocyanins and its biosynthetic pathway, the structural genes and regulatory genes involved in the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in solanaceous vegetables, as well as the environmental factors affecting the biosynthesis. This review may help clarify the synthesis and regulation mechanism of anthocyanins in solanaceous vegetables and make better use of anthocyanins for quality breeding of fruit colors.
