Abstract Background 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. Results Anthocyanins in the female flower tissue were identified mainly as pelargonidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside; in the peel, the major anthocyanins were cyanidin 3-O-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside. Anthocyanin content was significantly higher in the female flower tissue vs. peel before fig ripening, whereas at ripening, the anthocyanin content in the peel was 5.39 times higher than that in the female flower tissue. Light-deprivation treatment strongly inhibited peel, but not female flower tissue, anthocyanin pigmentation. RNA-Seq revealed 522 differentially expressed genes (recruited with criteria log2 ≥ 2 and P |
