Increase the Anthocyanin Content of Fruits

Increase the Anthocyanin Content of Fruits

Anthocyanidin, a water-soluble natural pigment widely found in plants, is a class of flavonoid compounds. Most colorful colors of fruits, vegetables, and flowers are related to them. Anthocyanins provide various benefits to the body, protecting it from free radical damage, enhancing vascular elasticity, improving the circulatory system and smoothness of the skin, and inhibiting inflammation and allergies.

Increasing the anthocyanin content of fruits not only increases the color of fruits but also helps to improve their nutritional value of fruits, which is beneficial to human health by consuming fruits with high anthocyanin content. Lifeasible has rich project service experience in fruit nutritional value improvement research. So far, we have successfully served multiple species, such as apples, grapes, tomatoes, and strawberries, providing theoretical guidance and technical support to researchers in improving fruit nutritional value and breeding excellent varieties.

Increase the Anthocyanin Content of Fruits

Enhancement of anthocyanin content in fruits using genetic engineering technology

Fruit anthocyanin content largely depends on genetic factors, and regulation of fruit anthocyanin metabolism genes and their expression through genetic measures is an effective means to improve the regulation of fruit anthocyanin synthesis and accumulation.

Lifeasible uses genetic engineering techniques to increase fruit anthocyanin content by introducing key genes for fruit anthocyanin syntheses, such as genes encoding most enzymes involved in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway and regulatory genes. In addition, we can also achieve effective regulation of anthocyanin content in fruits through the following techniques.

  • Antisense RNA. By regulating gene expression to achieve inhibition, closure, and disruption of expression in target cells.
  • RNAi. Achieve the expression and regulation of the organism's genes by inhibiting mRNA translation.
  • Gene knockout. Effective for studying the effect of a gene function on the anthocyanin content of fruits and has a simpler and more efficient technique.
