摘要
花青素生物合成途径的调控机制是生命科学的研究热点之一。花青素生物合成途径受到许多转录因子的调控。"副突变"现象的发现使人们认识到,在花青素的合成中还存在着"非孟德尔遗传"的调控机制。近年来的研究成果表明,与其他许多表观遗传现象一样,在副突变中有非编码RNA分子的参与。本文综述了副突变对花青素合成调控的研究进展及可能的作用机制。
The regulation mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway is one of the focuses in life science research. The biosynthesis of anthocyanin is regulated by many transcription factors. We notice there exists non-mendelian regulation mechanism in anthocyanin biosynthesis since the introduction of "paramutation". In recent years, studies have shown that non-coding RNAs participate in paramutation as many other epigenetic phenomena. We reviewed the regulation of paramutation on anthocyanin biosynthesis and the possible mechanism.
