1 Supporting Information Legends 2 Figure S1. Phylogenetic tree derived from amino acid sequences of genes encoding MYB (A) and basic helix 3 loop helix (B) transcription factors. Phylogenetic tree was conducted using MEGA version 5.2 using neighbor- 4 joining method and 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The GenBank or TAIR accession numbers are as follows: AtTT8 5 (CAC14865), MdbHLH3 (AHM88207), MdbHLH33 (ABB84474), NtAN1b (AEE99258), NtJAF13 (AGX01001), 6 AtGL3 (NP680372), AtEGL3 (Q9CAD0), AtMYC2 (NP_174541), ZmLc (NP_001105339), ZmB1 (CAA40544), 7 AtMYB4,AT4G38620; AtMYB6,AT4G09460; FaMYB1,AAK84064; AtPAP1,AT1G56650; AtPAP2,AT1G66390; 8 AtMYB111 (AT5G49330), AtMYB11 (AT3G62610), VvMYBF1 (ACV81697), ZmMYB31 (NP_001105949), 9 AtMYB123 (AT5G35550), VvMYBPA2 (BAD18978), VvMYBPA1 (NP_001268160), VvMYBA1 (BAD18977), 10 VvMYBA2 (BAD18978), MdMYB10 (ABB84753), MdMYB110a (AFC88038), AtMYB32 (AT4G34990), CsRuby 11 (JN402330), AtMYB8 (AT2G02820). 12 13 Figure S2. Expression profiles of genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis and vacuolar transport in 14 developing fruit flesh of peach. Error bars show SE of the mean. The fruit samples were collected in 2013. D1, 15 28 days after full bloom (DAFB); D2, 57 DAFB; D3, 82 DAFB; D4, 94 DAFB. 16 17 Figure S3. Anthocyanin-activating MYB gene PpMYB10.1 in peach. A, Structural feature of the peach 18 PpMYB10.1 gene. An InDel and a SNP (A/C) in the promoter and the second intron are indicated. B, Analysis of 19 the InDel in the F1 population derived from a cross between cvs. DHP and Jinhuadabaitao (JH). The population 20 consists of 11 nonblood- and 9 blood-fleshed individuals, with a 1:1 ratio of nonblood to blood. Cultivars JH, 21 XD, and TJ2 are white- , white-, and blood-fleshed varieties, respectively. 22 23 Figure S4. Genetic mapping of the peach blood flesh trait using a F1 progeny derived from a cross between 24 DHP × Shuguang. The blood flesh is controlled by a single gene (BL), with blood allele dominant over non- 25 blood allele. 26 27 Figure S5. Six SSR loci identified in the genomic sequences of the BL gene retrieved from the peach reference 28 genome of cv. Lovell. SSR markers, WPS21, WPS22, and WPS23, were developed based on the SSR loci of 29 (AG)19, (AAT)6, and (TA)13, respectively. 1 30 31 Figure S6. Expression profiles of the BL gene in fruits of 30 progeny derived from a cross between cvs. DHP 32 and Shuguang. Error bars show SE of the mean. 33 34 Figure S7. Heat-map of NAC family in the peach transcriptome. Heat-map was constructed using RNA-Seq 35 data by software MEV (4.81).
