Abstract:
As a secondary metabolite in plant, anthocyanins plays an important role in many aspects of plant life, and also exhibits various activities including the anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antitumor and cardio-cerebral vascular protective in animals. They are a group of important natural drug candiadtes in the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and metabolic diseases. Therefore, exploration of the biosynthetic pathway and regulatory mechanism of anthocyanins is of great interest for improvement of anthocyanin production and development of low-cost production methods. Circadian clock, as a ubiquitous regulatory system in organisms, affects plant physiological and molecular processes, and also regulate the anthocyanin biosynthesis. To provide new ideas on anthocyanin biosynthesis, we provide a review of the recent progress in circadian rhythm clock with regard on regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in this paper.
