Research progress of anthocyanin biosynthesis,regulation,bioactivity and detection in high-er plants
Anthocyanin is an important secondary metabolite in higher plants,and is a key substance affects the color of plants.The biosynthesis of anthocyanin has specificity in certain tissue and can be regulated by endogenous and exogenous factors,including transcription factors,plant growth regulators and environmental conditions.In this pa-per,the research progress and advance of anthocyanin in recent years were reviewed,including the biosynthesis path-way,regulatory network,influenced factors,bioactivity and detection strategies of anthocyanins.Moreover,the ex-isting problems and future research directions were discussed.
