Anthocyanin is one of the most important plant pigments which decided the color of flowers,fruits and seeds.The biosynthesis of anthocyanin has tissue and organ specificity,and closely related to plant growth and development.Anthocyanin belong to flavonoid compounds.Both endogenous and exogenous hormones have an important effect on anthocyanin synthesis.The regulation of hormones on anthocyanin biosynthesis is apparently modulated by the MBW (MYB,bHLH and WD40) complexes that regulate the expression of the structural genes associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis.Meanwhile its synthesis and accumulation is controlled by internal factors and environmental factors.Hormone signaling associated with anthocyanin accumulation is linked to sugar and light signaling pathways.This paper reviews the research progresses on molecular mechanism of hormone regulation of plant anthocyanin biosynthesis at home and abroad.The regulation of hormone on anthocyanin biosynthesis may not be a simple process,but dependent on the presence of other factors to form a complex network.
