摘要： Main conclusionBraANS.A3 was the key gene controlling purple leaf color in pak choi, and two short fragments of promoter region in green pak choi might be interfering its normal expression.Pak choi (B. rapa L. ssp. chinensis) is an influential and important vegetable with green, yellow, or purple leaves that is cultivated worldwide. The purple leaves are rich in anthocyanins, but the underlying genetics and evolution have yet to be extensively studied. Free-hand sections of the purple leaves indicated that anthocyanins mainly accumulate throughout the adaxial and abaxial epidermal leaf cells. Segregation analyses of an F2 population of a B. rapa ssp. chinensis L. purple leaf mutant ZBC indicated that the purple trait is controlled by an incompletely dominant nuclear gene. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) showed that the key genes controlling the trait were between 24.25 and 38.10 Mb on chromosome A03 of B. rapa. From the annotated genes, only BraA03g050560.3C, homologous to Arabidopsis AtANS, was related to the anthocyanin synthesis pathway. Genome annotation results and transcriptional sequencing analyses revealed that the BraANS.A3 gene was involved in the purple leaf trait. qRT-PCR analyses showed that BraANS.A3 was highly upregulated in ZBC but hardly expressed in the leaves of an inbred homozygous line of B. campestris ssp. chinensis L. green leaf mutant WTC, indicating that BraANS.A3 played a key role catalyzing anthocyanin synthesis in ZBC. Full-length sequence alignment of BraANS.A3 in WTC and ZBC showed that it was highly conserved in the gene region, with significant variation in the promoter region. In particular, the insertion of two short fragments of the promoter region in WTC may interfere with its normal expression. The promoter regions of ANS in six Brassica species all had multiple cis-elements involved in responses to abscisic acid, light, and stress, suggesting that ANS may be involved in multiple metabolic pathways or biological processes. Protein-protein interactions predicted that BraANS.A3 interacts with virtually all catalytic proteins in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway and has a strong relationship with Transparent Testa 8 (TT8). These results suggest that BraANS.A3 promotes anthocyanin accumulation in purple pak choi and provide new insights into the functional analysis of anthocyanin-related genes in Chinese cabbage and transcriptional regulatory networks.
