Ananas comosus var. bracteatus Raw sequence reads. Ananas comosus var. bracteatus

Leaf coloration is one of the most important and attractive characteristics of Ananas comosus var. bracteatus. Leaf coloration is due to the accumulation of tetrapyrrole compounds. The most commonly known tetrapyrroles in plants are chlorophylls, pigments responsible for the green color of leaves and light-harvesting complexes during photosynthesis. However, the chimera character is not stable during in vitro tissue culture. Thus, reveal the molecular mechanism of the albino of the cells is necessary for the regulation of the chimera character stability.
