Abstract:

Flower color is an important character in ornamental plants. The formation and the regulation of flower color are affected by many factors. Vacuole pH value is one of the most important factors. This paper expounded the effects of vacuole pH in floral organ on the color of flower from chemical mechanism of the vacuole pH regulating color change,and the mechanism of proton pump regulating the pH change of vacuole. Additionally,the paper analyzed the existing key issues and gave prospects,which lays a foundation for further research in vacuole pH related genes function and molecular regulating mechanism,as well as is of significance for the color regulation and molecular breeding in ornamental plants.

Key words: flower color, vacuole pH, NHX gene, PH gene
