花青素玉米的育种进展

花青素是自然界广泛存在的水溶性色素，也是常见的抗氧化物质。近年来，花青素在抗炎、防衰老等方面的保健功能逐渐得到关注和认可，随着甜、糯类型鲜食玉米市场需求和种植面积的逐年增加，富含花青素的鲜食玉米格外受消费者的欢迎。除了鲜食，花青素玉米还可以作为原材料进行工业提取，提取的花青素应用广泛。近几年，花青素玉米的育种发展迅速，并且在基因工程育种方面也取得了突破性进展。从玉米花青素的合成代谢调控途径、用途和市场前景、常规品种选育及基因工程研究进展等方面进行阐述，为花青素玉米未来的开发、育种方向选择提供借鉴。

Breeding Progress of Anthocyanin Corn

Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigment and antioxidant widespread in the nature. In recent years， the health care functions of anthocyanins， such as anti-inflammation and anti-aging， have gradually gained public concern and recognition. With the increase of sweet and waxy fresh corn market and planting area year by year， the fresh corns rich in anthocyanin are very popular with consumers. In addition to fresh food， anthocyanin corn can also be used as raw materials for industrial extraction， and the extracted anthocyanins are widely used. For the past few years， anthocyanin maize breeding has also made great progress， and genetic engineering breeding has also made a breakthrough. Here， this paper reviewed the synthesis and metabolism of anthocyanin， applications and market prospect， conventional breeding and genetic engineering of anthocyanin corn， which provided a reference for breeding and development of anthocyanin maize in future.
