RNA sequencing provides insights into the evolution of lettuce and the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis

Horticultural lettuce varieties vary considerably in phenotype. Here, via RNA-seq of 240 different lettuce accessions, the authors identify loci and expression patterns associated with flavonoid and anthocyanin content and show that cultivated lettuce likely arose via a single domestication event.
