Abstract:
Methods are provided for making a citrus plant that is capable of producing fruit with increased levels of anthocyanins in the fruit when compared to a citrus fruit from a wild-type or control plant. Such methods involve increasing the expression of Ruby, an R2R3 Myb transcription factor, in a citrus plant, particularly in the fruit of a citrus plant. Further provided are citrus plants, citrus fruit, and citrus plant cells made by such methods, nucleic acid molecules and expression cassettes comprising nucleotide sequences that encode Ruby, and the Ruby proteins encoded thereby.
