Abstract
► FcMYB1, ortholog of FaMYB1 (a suppressor of flavonoid biosynthesis) was cloned from white strawberry Fragaria chiloensis. ► Expression of FcMYB1 was higher in white strawberry than in red strawberry during fruit development. ► RNAi silencing construct depleted FcMYB1 mRNA levels in white strawberry fruits, enhancing their pigmentation. ► Fruits with lower transcript levels of this TF showed increased contents of anthocyanin and decreased levels of flavan 3-ols.
