Biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanin biosynthesis and the qRT-PCR verified the DEGs related to anthocyanin biosynthesis. a Key genes and the heatmap of DEGs involved in biosynthesis pathway, The catalyzed enzymes are marked with blue color, the abbreviations of enzymes are as follows: PAL (phenylalanine ammonia lyase), C4H (cinnamate 4-hydroxylase), CHS (chalcone synthase), CCoAR (cinnamoyl-CoA reductase), CAD (cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase), 4CL (4-coumarate: CoA ligase), CHS (chalcone synthase), FLS (flavonol synthase), DFR (dihydroflavonol 4-reductase), ANS (leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase), UFGT (UDP-glycosyltransferase), F3H (flavanone 3-hydroxylase), F3′H (flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase), F3′5′H (flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase), ANR (anthocyanidin reductase). b-e The qRT-PCR verified the DEGs related to anthocyanin biosynthesis, relative expression levels of qRT-PCR were calculated using actin as a standard. Error bars represent mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). * indicates p < 0.05, ** indicates p < 0.01, *** indicates p < 0.001, **** indicates p < 0.0001
