Abstract: Tomato（Solanum lycopersicum L.）can be found in a range of colors：green，yellow，red，pink，and purple. These various pigments are determined by the accumulation of chlorophylls，carotenoids，lycopene，and flavonoids. In this review，we summarized the recent studies regarding the relevant genes，and regulatory mechanisms in the biosynthesis pathway that control tomato fruit color formation. We also aim to provide a reference for genetic improvement of tomato fruit color by using biotechnology.
