A <i>SmelAAT</i> Acyltransferase Variant Causes a Major Difference in Eggplant (<i>Solanum melongena</i> L.) Peel Anthocyanin Composition
Eggplant berries are rich in anthocyanins like delphinidin-3-rutinoside (D3R) and nasunin (NAS), which are accumulated at high amounts in the peel. NAS is derived by D3R through acylation and glycosylation steps. The presence of D3R or NAS is usually associated with black-purple or lilac fruit color...
