Color directly affects fruit quality and consumer preference. In fig syconia, the female flower tissue is contained in a receptacle. Anthocyanin pigmentation of this tissue and the peel differs temporally and spatially. A transcriptome study was carried out to elucidate key genes and transcription factors regulating differences in fig coloring. | Differential color development and response to light deprivation of fig Ficus carica L. syconia peel and female flower tissues Transcriptome elucidation
