摘要： Anthocyanin regulation can be fruitfully explored from a diverse perspective by studying distantly related model organisms. Land plants pioneers faced a huge evolutionary leap, involving substantial physiological and genetic changes. Anthocyanins have evolved alongside these changes, becoming versatile compounds capable of mitigating terrestrial challenges such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures and high radiation. With the accessibility of whole-genome sequences from ancient plant lineages, deeper insights into the evolution of key metabolic pathways like phenylpropanoids have emerged. Despite understanding the function of anthocyanins under stress, gaps remain in uncovering the precise metabolic and regulatory mechanisms driving their overproduction under stressful conditions. For example, the regulatory effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on well-known transcription factors like MYBs is not fully elucidated. This manuscript presents an evolutionary analysis of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway to elucidate key genes. CINNAMATE 4-HYDROXYLASE (C4H) and CHALCONE ISOMERASE (CHI2) received particular attention. C4H exposes remarkable differences between aquatic and land plants, while CHI2 demonstrates substantial variation in gene copy number and sequence similarity across species. The role of transcription factors, such as MYB, and the involvement of ROS in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis are discussed. Complementary gene expression analyses under abiotic stress in Arabidopsis thaliana, Selaginella moellendorffii, and Marchantia polymorpha reveal intriguing gene-stress relationships. This study highlights evolutionary trends and the regulatory complexity of anthocyanin production under abiotic stress, providing insights and opening avenues for future research.
