Abstract:

Flower color is one of the most obvious ornamental character for lotus(Nelumbo Adans.). The flavonoids are the dominant pigments in lotus petals. A series of key enzyme genes and transcription factors related to the biosynthesis of flavonoids regulate flower color. However,lotus is not rich in flower color and the innovation of which has been a bottleneck in lotus breeding. Elucidating the mechanism of flower color formation is of great significance for molecular color breeding. This paper will review and summarize researches on flower color breeding of lotus,the chemical and molecular mechanism for the formation of lotus flower color,which will serve as significant theoretical basis for breeding of lotus cultivars with novel and excellent flower color.

Key words: Nelumbo, lotus, flower color, flavonoids, breeding
