Genome-Wide Analysis of the Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) Genes and Functional Identification of <i>MdGSTU12</i> Reveals the Involvement in the Regulation of Anthocyanin Accumulation in Apple

Anthocyanins have essential biological functions, affecting the development of horticultural production. They are synthesized in the cytoplasm through flavonoid metabolic pathways and finally transported into vacuoles for storage. Plant glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are multifunctional enzymes i...
