<i>CaHY5</i> Mediates UV-B Induced Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Purple Pepper

Anthocyanins are important flavonoid compounds in plants that are associated with the color formation and antioxidant activity of flowers, fruits, and other organs. Ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B) is one of the key environmental factors that influence anthocyanin accumulation in plants and <i>H...

description Anthocyanins are important flavonoid compounds in plants that are associated with the color formation and antioxidant activity of flowers, fruits, and other organs. Ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B) is one of the key environmental factors that influence anthocyanin accumulation in plants and <i>HY5</i> is involved in plant photomorphogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism of the signal network of UV-B regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in capsicum via <i>HY5</i> remains unclear. In this study, we identified the transcription factor <i>CaHY5</i>, which mediates UV-B signaling, and demonstrated its regulatory role in anthocyanin biosynthesis in purple pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.). The results showed that there were photoresponsive and hormone-responsive elements on the <i>CaHY5</i> promoter that responded to UV-B, indoleacetic acid, salicylic acid, 6-benzyladenine, abscisic acid, and melatonin treatments. UV-B treatment induced the expression of <i>CaHY5</i> and anthocyanin structural genes. <i>CaHY5</i> gene-silenced positive plants showed different degrees of the yellowing phenomenon, which affected the expression of the anthocyanin biosynthesis structural gene. The expression levels of anthocyanin biosynthesis-related genes in <i>CaHY5</i>-silenced positive plants increased considerably. This study provides insights into the role of <i>CaHY5</i> in UV-B-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in purple pepper.
