Simplified scheme of the pathways related to rice seed hull color as hypothesized in the present study. This figure summarizes the biological functions of BH4, Phr1, and IBF1 in rice seed hull color. BH4 encodes a tyrosine transporter (Zhu et al. 2011) and Phr1 encodes a polyphenol oxidase (Yu et al. 2008). These genes are related to melanin biosynthesis pathway. IBF1 inhibits flavonoid biosynthesis as a suppressor (Shao et al. 2012). Thick black arrows indicate biosynthesis pathways of pigments and thin black arrows indicate genes and proteins involved in their synthesis.
