Abstract

TRANSPARENT TESTA19 (TT19) encodes a glutathione S-transferase which functions in anthocyanin stabilization and vacuolar transport. Here, by tt19 suppressor screening, the authors show that RDR6/SGS3/DCL4 siRNA pathway constituents synergistically interact with components of the flavonoid pathway to control carbon metabolism.
