Sugars act as signalling molecules, whose signal transduction pathways may lead to the activation or inactivation of gene expression. Whole-genome transcript profiling reveals that the flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthetic pathways are strongly up-regulated following sucrose treatment. Besides mRNA accumulation, sucrose affects both flavonoid and anthocyanin contents. We investigated the effects of sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose) on genes coding for flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthetic enzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana. The results indicate that the sugar-dependent up-regulation of the anthocyanin synthesis pathway is sucrose-specific. An altered induction of several anthocyanin biosynthetic genes, consistent with in vivo sugar modulation of mRNA accumulation, is observed in the pgm (PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE) Arabidopsis mutant accumulating high levels of soluble sugars.
