Main conclusionMiMYB1andMibHLH2play key roles in anthocyanin biosynthesis inMatthiola incanaflowers. We established a transient expression system using Turnip mosaic virus vector inM. incana.AbstractGarden stock (Matthiola incana(L.) R. Br.) is a popular flowering plant observed from winter to spring in Japan. Here we observed that anthocyanin accumulation in ‘Vintage Lavender’ increased with flower development, whereas flavonol accumulation remained constant throughout flower development. We obtained five transcription factor genes,MiMYB1,MibHLH1,MibHLH2,MiWDR1, andMiWDR2, fromM.incanafloral cDNA contigs. Yeast two-hybrid analyses revealed that MiMYB1 interacted with MibHLH1, MibHLH2, and MiWDR1, but MiWDR2 did not interact with any transcription factor. Expression levels ofMiMYB1andMibHLH2increased in petals during floral bud development. Their expression profiles correlated well with the temporal profiles ofMiF3ʹH,MiDFR,MiANS, andMi3GTtranscripts and anthocyanin accumulation profile. On the other hand,MibHLH1was expressed weakly in all organs of ‘Vintage Lavender’. However, high expression levels ofMibHLH1were detected in petals of other cultivars with higher levels of anthocyanin accumulation than ‘Vintage Lavender’.MiWDR1andMiWDR2maintained constant expression levels in petals during flower development and vegetative organs. TransientMiMYB1expression in 1-month-oldM.incanaseedlings using a Turnip mosaic virus vector activated transcription of the endogenous anthocyanin biosynthetic genesMiF3ʹH,MiDFR, andMiANSand induced ectopic anthocyanin accumulation in leaves. Therefore, MiMYB1 possibly interacts with MibHLH2 and MiWDR1, and this trimeric protein complex activates the transcription of anthocyanin biosynthetic genes inM.incanaflowers. Moreover, MibHLH1 acts as an enhancer of anthocyanin biosynthesis with the MiMYB1–MibHLH2–MiWDR1 complex. This study revealed the molecular mechanism involved in the regulation of anthocyanin accumulation levels inM. incanaflowers.
