Abstract: 
Flavonoids are low-molecular-weight phenolic compounds that are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. They have different roles in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The transcription factor gene MdMyb10 (Gene Bank: DQ267896) was introduced into two apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivars i.e. ‘Holsteiner Cox (HC)’ and ‘Gala’ via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The regenerated shoots were selected on kanamycin containing media. The presence of additional MdMyb10 gene in putative shoots was confirmed by PCR, RT-PCR and Southern blotting. Expression level of introduced MdMyb10 gene was analyzed by quantitative real time PCR. The results confirmed a dramatic increase in overexpression of MdMyb10 in the transgenic plants, up to 1261 and 847-folds for cultivars Holsteiner Cox and Gala, respectively compared to non-transformed negative control plants. HPLC-MS was used to determine the levels of different flavonoid compounds in both non-transgenic and transgenic plants. In MdMyb10 ‘HC’ transgenic plants, some of the polyphenols analyzed were enhanced while others were reduced in comparison to their levels in the non-transgenic plants. On the other hand, all of the analyzed polyphenol classes were induced in MdMyb10 ‘Gala’ transgenic plants in comparison to their levels in the non-transgenic plants. In the present study, the flavonoid pathway was successfully modified in apple by overexpressing the MdMyb10 transcription factor to validate the hypothesis of increased effect on plant disease resistance.
