Abstract: In this study, MdMYB1 was cloned from Delicious apple. Itwas found that MdMYB1 protein was localized in nucleus indicated by in silico predication and GFP fusion protein fluorescence observation. In parallel, the promoter regions of MdDFT and MdUFGT were isolated and analyzed in silico. The result showed that both promoters contained cis-elements characterized as MYB binding sites. Furthermore, to examine if MdMYB1 triggers the expression of MdDFR and MdUFGT during fruit coloration, anthocyanin content, expression levels of MdMYB1, MdDFR and MdUFGT were investigated. The results demonstrated that light exposure markedly induced anthocyanin accumulation in fruit peel, along with a rapid initiation of gene expression. Interestingly, three genes were expressed in a highly similar pattern. In one word, our findings suggest that transcription factor MdMYB1 may directly regulate the expression of MdDFR and MdUFGT genes.
