Characterization of the cis elements in the proximal promoter regions of the anthocyanin pathway genes reveals a common regulatory logic that governs pathway regulation

Highlight MYB and bHLH bind to two identifiable syntaxes present in target gene promoters, and the anthocyanin pathway is regulated as one unit as in other branches of the flavonoid network.
