Isolation of UDP:flavonoid 3-<i>O</i>-glycosyltransferase (UFGT)-like Genes and Expression Analysis of Genes Associated with Anthocyanin Accumulation in Mango ‘Irwin’ skin

The red coloration of the mango ‘Irwin’ skin is an important factor determining its value in the Japanese domestic luxury fruit market. In the present study, to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying anthocyanin biosynthesis of mango fruit skin, UFGT-like genes were isolated and the expression profile of anthocyanin-related genes was determined. Several UFGT-like genes were identified in transcriptome data of red ‘Irwin’ mango skin and...
