The ‘Zijinhongxia’ grape was used as test material, and the fruit were bagged with 5 different types of bags (white paper bag, nonwoven and white paper doubleply bag, green paper bag, blue paper bag and brown paper bag) in the early stage of veraison, and with not bagging as control. In order to study the effect of different fruit bags on fruit quality, anthocyanin content and the expression of anthocyanin synthesis related genes, we determined the fruit weight, fruit vertical and horizontal diameter, total soluble solids and titratable acid of grape berries at different development stages. Meanwhile, the expression of anthocyanin synthesis related genes was also evaluated by qRTPCR. The results showed that: (1) white, blue and brown paper bags were not favorable to the increase of total soluble solids in mature fruit, and blue and brown paper bag were not favorable to the reduction of titratable acid content in mature fruit. (2) Bagging treatment will reduce the color index of red grape significantly, and the content of anthocyanin in pericarp was reduced significantly because of bagging except that nonwoven and white paper doubleply bag did not significantly influence the mature pericarp. (3) For the expression of 6 anthocyanin synthesis related genes, bagging treatment mainly behaved inhibition. However, nonwoven and white paper doubleply bag promoted the upregulated expression of F3′H and UFGT genes, and white paper bag promoted the upregulated expression of MYBA1, DFR and LDOX genes in mature fruit. In summary, our results suggested that the effect of nonwoven and white paper doubleply bag on fruit quality and fruit coloring is minimal, and this type of fruit bag can be used for fruit bagging. The second choice is white and green bag. However, because the blue and brown paper bag seriously reduces fruit quality, therefore they are not suitable for ‘Zijinhongxia’ fruit bagging.
