From: ABA mediates development-dependent anthocyanin biosynthesis and fruit coloration in Lycium plants
Model of ABA-regulated anthocyanin biosynthesis during Lycium fruit ripening. The developmental cues transcriptionally activates LbNCED1 and thus enhances endogenous ABA accumulation. This accumulation is followed by the transcriptional stimulation of the MYB-bHLH-WD40 transcription factor complex, upregulation of the expression of structural genes involved in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, and finally promotion of anthocyanin production and fruit coloration
