There's also a research group in Italy working on a very similar project, using the same "wild" parents and genes for anthocyanin expression. The yet to be released variety is called Sun Black. Pretty cool photo. The Italian group is also looking at various cultural treatments that can be used to strongly induce gene expression and anthocyanin production.
