technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to the development and application of a gene marker for regulating the purple color of capsicum green fruit. Background technique
[0002] Anthocyanins are an important class of water-soluble secondary metabolites that widely exist in nature, mainly distributed in the flowers and fruits of crops, but also commonly found in the leaves, stems and seeds of crops. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important agricultural crop in the world and is a good source of vitamins, carotenoids and flavonoids. The chlorophyll and carotenoids in the pepper fruit make it appear green, yellow, orange and red fruits. Among the cultivated capsicum germplasm resources, there are several purple fruit genotypes, which may be an important source of anthocyanins. However, the purple pigmentation appears only in the unripe fruit.
