We investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the pigmentation patterns of the dorsal petals in torenia ( Torenia fournieri Lind. ex Fourn.) cultivars. ‘Piccolo Mix’ consists of lines exhibiting different pigmentation patterns in the limb of the dorsal petal, i.e., entirely pigmented (all-pigmented line), picotee with a pigmented margin (half-pigmented line), and entirely pale (pale line). In the all- and half-pigmented lines, expression of T. fournieri CYCLOIDEA2 ( TfCYC2 ), which is involved in dorsal–ventral floral asymmetry, was inhibited by integration of Ty1/Copia-like LTR retrotransposon TORE2 into the exon of TfCYC2 ( TfCYC2 TORE2 ). The all-pigmented line was homozygotic for TfCYC2 TORE2 , while the pale line was homozygotic normal-type TfCYC2 ( TfCYC2 + ). The half-pigmented line was heterozygotic TfCYC2 TORE2 / TfCYC2 + . Therefore, the extent of pigmentation of the dorsal petal is negatively correlated with the gene dosage of TfCYC2 + . Further, ‘Crown Violet’, another torenia cultivar exhibiting the same pigmentation pattern as the all-pigmented line of ‘Piccolo Mix’, was also homozygotic for TfCYC2 TORE2 . These results indicate that TfCYC2 TORE2 is responsible for the marked enrichment of flower pigmentation patterns seen in torenia cultivars.
