Light-responsive PyNAC90 orchestrates anthocyanin biosynthesis through combinatorial transcriptional activation and COP1-mediated degradation in pear.
Article in Molecular horticulture, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Anthocyanins confer diverse biological activities and health benefits, and represent a key quality trait in fruit. In pear, red skin coloration arises from anthocyanin accumulation, a process strongly induced by light. Here, transcriptomic analyses identified PyNAC90 as a candidate regulator promoting anthocyanin biosynthesis. The expression level of PyNAC90 gradually increased with extended bag removal. Stable transformation in pear callus and transient overexpression in pear skin showed that PyNAC90 overexpression significantly enhanced anthocyanin accumulation, whereas PyNAC90 silencing significantly suppressed anthocyanin biosynthesis. Dual-luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that PyHY5 directly induced PyNAC90, while PyNAC90 directly activated PyMYB10 and indirectly activated the downstream structural genes PyDFR and PyANS. Furthermore, co-expression of PyNAC90, PyMYB10, and PybHLH3 synergistically activated the downstream structural genes PyDFR and PyANS. Moreover, Y2H, LCI, and BiFC assays confirmed that PyNAC90 physically interacted with PyMYB10, strengthening cooperative transcriptional regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis. The E3 ubiquitin ligase PyCOP1 also interacted with PyNAC90 both in vivo and in vitro, mediating its degradation, thereby reducing anthocyanin accumulation. Collectively, our results elucidate a molecular mechanism by which light-responsive NAC transcription factors regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis and expand the regulatory network underlying light-induced pigmentation.
