Abstract:
Anthocyanins, as a crucial class of secondary metabolites, not only impart vibrant coloration to fruits thereby enhancing their market appeal and nutritional value, but also exhibit significant health benefits including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory propertoes. The biosynthesis of anthocyanins in fruits is intricately regulated by diverse environmental factors, including temperature, water availability, light exposure, mineral elements, and salt stress. This review systematically summarizes recent research advancements regarding the effects of these environmental factors on anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruits and elucidates their underlying regulatory mechanisms. This synthesis contributes to understanding the molecular basis of fruit trees environmental perception and adaptation, while providing theoretical foundations for precision cultivation management in fruit production systems.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
