DcMYB7 control of purple pigmentation in carrot. A, Purple-pigmented carrots resulting from anthocyanin accumulation (top left) and an undisrupted DcMYB7 promoter region (top right). B, Yellow-pigmented carrots resulting from a lack of anthocyanin pigmentation (bottom right) and accumulation of various insertional mutations within the DcMYB7 promoter region (bottom left). Gene models were adapted from Figure 5 in Xu et al. (2019), and carrot images were adapted from U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service open-source images.
