Abstract: Purple potato, purple sweet potato and other purple crops are rich in anthocyanin, which is regard as a natural antioxidant, thus are favored by more and more consumers. In order to promote the production of purple potato and purple sweet potato, the data related to the regulating effect of cultural factors, such as fertilization (nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, selenium, organic and compound fertilizer), planting technique (density, harvest period, cover pattern, shading, altitude) and exogenous substances (sugar, hormones, rooting powder), on anthocyanin biosynthesis mechanism in potato tuber and sweet potato root were analyzed. The research direction and application prospects of anthocyanin biosynthesis in purple potato and purple sweet potato were also discussed. This paper would provide reference for further research on anthocyanin biosynthesis.
