Molecular-genetic mechanisms underlying fruit and seed coloration in plants by V. F. Adzhieva, O. G. Babak, O. Y. Shoeva, A. V. Kilchevsky, E. K. Khlestkina

“…The genes encoding enzymes involved in step-bystep conversion of initial organic molecules to final pigmented compounds are referred to as structural genes, while regulatory genes are responsible for activation of the expression of structural genes and control the synthesis of pigments at certain times and in proper tissue. The data in plant genetics accumulated to date show that the inter- and intraspecies phenotypic diversity in coloration is mainly related with regulatory genes. …”
