Abstract
The disclosure discloses blue-grained genes in wheat and use thereof, and belongs to the fields of plant molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and plant breeding. The disclosure is capable of, through using differential expression analysis of blue-grained and white-grained wheat, obtaining four genes for controlling wheat blue-grained trait: two MYB family transcription factors and two bHLH family transcription factors, and providing a plant recombinant expression vector of the above genes and a method for controlling plant anthocyanin synthesis, and has important theoretical and practical significance to research a synthetic pathway of blue-grained wheat aleurone layer pigment, serve as a screening marker in a plant transformation process and improve a nutritional value of a plant.
