Systematic identification of long noncoding RNAs expressed during light‐induced anthocyanin accumulation in apple fruit

Summary Anthocyanin pigments contribute to the red color of apple ( Malus × domestica ) fruit and have a major influence on their ornamental, dietary and market value. In this study, we investigated the potential role of long noncoding RNA s (lnc RNA s) in anthocyanin biosynthesis. RNA ‐seq analysis of apple peels from the ‘Red Fuji’ cultivar during light‐induced rapid anthocyanin accumulation revealed 5297 putative lnc RNA s. Differential...
