Abstract Acer rubrum is an important garden color-leafed plant. Its leaves will turn red in autumn, which is of great ornamental value. The leaf color change in Acer rubrum is closely associated with anthocyanins accumulation. In anthocyanin synthesis and accumulation, various transcription factor families play significant regulatory roles, including the basic (region) leucine zipper (bZIP). However, there is no report on the systematic identification and functional analysis of the bZIPs in Acer rubrum. In this study, 137 bZIPs distributed on 29 chromosomes of Acer rubrum were identified and renamed according to their locations on the chromosomes. According to the constructed… More >
