Metabolome and transcriptome analysis of anthocyanin biosynthesis reveal key metabolites and candidate genes in red-stemmed alfalfa (Medicago sativa)

Abstract Background Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) serves as a vital high-quality forage resource, especially in tropical and subtropical regions where there is a deficiency of protein-rich feed. The red pigmentation of stem of space mutated alfalfa was mainly caused by anthocyanin accumulation. Howev...
