Identification of Two <i>R2R3-MYB</i> Genes Involved in Flavan-3-Ols Biosynthesis as Modulated by Salicylic Acid Through RNA-Seq in Grape Berries (<i>Vitis</i> spp.) by Fengchan Yu, Pengfei Zhai, Wenjing Ge, Runtian Zhou, Shuwen Zan, Jinjun Liang, Pengfei Wen, Yu Gary Gao

“…This study identified two <i>R2R3-MYB</i> genes that exhibited positive responses to both exogenous SA and were probably involved in flavan-3-ol biosynthesis through RNA-sequencing, functional enrichment analysis, and qRT-PCR. The results indicated that the contents of total flavan-3-ols and their monomers, (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin, in grape berries after exogenous SA application were substantially increased compared to those in the control. …”
