Angelo Sicilia, Emanuele Scialò, Ivana Puglisi, Angela Roberta Lo Piero
Abstract
promoters, with its expression induced by cold in the HP areas of the fruits. This is the first report in which different levels of gene expression implicated in anthocyanin production in blood orange fruit is correlated with an epigenetic control mechanism such as promoter methylation.
