The onion (Allium cepa L.) R2R3-MYB gene MYB1 regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis

Bulb colour is an important consumer trait for onion (Allium cepa L., Allioideae, Asparagales). The bulbs accumulate a range of flavonoid compounds, including anthocyanins (red), flavonols (pale yellow) and chalcones (bright yellow).
