Abstract: Pigments mechanism is one of the most important research fields in horticultural plants. Related researches mainly include anthocyanin and carotenoid biosynthesis,which decide the quality and ornamental character of horticultural plants. Using transcriptomic technology,the transcriptional regulation mechanism of horticulture plants can be investigated at the transcriptome level. This paper summarized the recent reports about the isolation of code genes,branch mechanism,new genes isolation,regulatory mechanism,and environment- pigments interaction of fruit trees,vegetables and ornamental plants. The current problems in application were analyzed. The development prospect of transcriptomics in horticultural plants pigments metabolism was also prospected. We hope that it will provide useful information for the regulation mechanism study,important gene isolation and quality orientation breeding of horticulture plants by using transcriptomic technology.

Key words: transcriptomics, bioinformatics, pigment metabolism
