Anthocyanin pigmentation is an important consumer trait in peach (Prunus persica). In this study, the genetic basis of blood-flesh was investigated using cultivar Dahongpao, which shows high levels cyanidin-3-glucoside mesocarp. Elevation anthocyanin flesh correlated with expression R2R3 MYB transcription factor, PpMYB10.1. However, PpMYB10.1 did not co-segregate trait. The mapped to a 200-kb interval on linkage group (LG) 5. Within interval, gene encoding NAC domain factor (TF) found be...
Abstract Background Sacred lotus is a basal eudicot with agricultural, medicinal, cultural and religious importance. It was domesticated in Asia about 7,000 years ago, cultivated for its rhizomes seeds as food crop. particularly noted 1,300-year seed longevity exceptional water repellency, known the effect. The latter property due to nanoscopic closely packed protuberances of self-cleaning leaf surface, which have been adapted manufacture industrial paint, Lotusan. Results genome China...
Summary Anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin ( PA ) accumulation is regulated by both myeloblastosis MYB activators repressors, but little information available on hierarchical interactions between the positive negative regulators. Here, we report a R2R3‐ repressor in peach, designated Pp 18, which acts as regulator of anthocyanin accumulation. 18 can be activated anthocyanin‐ ‐related activators, expressed at fruit ripening juvenile stages when anthocyanins or PAs, respectively, are being...
Red coloration of fruit is an important trait in apple, and it mainly attributed to the accumulation anthocyanins, a class plant flavonoid metabolites. Anthocyanin biosynthesis genetically determined by structural regulatory genes. Plant tissue pigmentation patterns are controlled expression profiles Among these genes MYB transcription factors (TFs), wherein two-repeats (R2R3) deemed largest, associated with anthocyanin pathway. Although three MdMYB genes, almost identical nucleotide...
Anthocyanins are secondary metabolites induced by environmental stimuli and developmental signals. The positive regulators of anthocyanin biosynthesis have been reported, whereas the repressors neglected. Although signal transduction pathways gibberellin (GA) jasmonic acid (JA) their regulation investigated, cross-talk between GA JA antagonistic mechanism regulating remain to be investigated. In this study, we identified repressor MdbHLH162 in apple revealed its molecular integrating exerted...
Three genes encoding anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) in apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.), designated MdANR1, MdANR2a, and MdANR2b, have been cloned characterized. MdANR1 shows 91% identity coding DNA sequences with MdANR2a while MdANR2b are allelic share 99% nucleotide sequence the region. MdANR2 located on linkage groups 10 5, respectively. Expression levels of both generally higher yellow-skinned cv. Golden Delicious than red-skinned Red Delicious. Transcript accumulation fruits gradually...
Abstract Three genes encoding flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase (F3′H) in apple (Malus × domestica), designated MdF3′HI, MdF3′HIIa, and MdF3′HIIb, have been identified. MdF3′HIIa MdF3′HIIb are almost identical amino acid sequences, they allelic, whereas MdF3′HI has 91% nucleotide sequence identity the coding region to both MdF3′HIIb. MdF3′HII mapped onto linkage groups 14 6, respectively, of genome. Throughout development fruit, transcriptional levels MdF3′H along with other anthocyanin biosynthesis...
Abstract Modification of anthocyanin plays an important role in increasing its stability plants. Here, six anthocyanins were identified peach (Prunus persica), and their structural diversity is attributed to glycosylation methylation. Interestingly, quite similar the wild species Prunus ferganensis but differs from both davidiana kansueasis terms composition flowers. This indicates that probably domesticated P. ferganensis. Subsequently, genes responsible for methylation identified,...
Anthocyanin accumulation is responsible for flower coloration in peach. Here, we report the identification and functional characterization of eight flavonoid-related R2R3-MYB transcription factors, designated PpMYB10.2, PpMYB9, PpMYBPA1, Peace, PpMYB17, PpMYB18, PpMYB19 PpMYB20, respectively, peach transcriptome. PpMYB10.2 PpMYB9 are able to activate anthocyanin biosynthetic genes, whilst PpMYBPA1 Peace have a strong activation on promoters proanthocyanin (PA) genes. PpMYB17-20 show...
Sugar content is an important component of fruit quality. Although sugar transporters are known to be crucial for accumulation, the role genes encoding SWEET in accumulation remains elusive. Here we report effect on apple. A total 25 MdSWEET were identified apple genome, and 9 highly expressed throughout development. Molecular markers these developed used genotyping 188 cultivars. The association polymorphic with soluble mature was analyzed. Three genes, MdSWEET2e, MdSWEET9b, MdSWEET15a,...
Soluble sugar contents in mature fruits of 45 peach accessions were quantified using gas chromatography analysis. Sucrose is the predominant fruit, followed by glucose and fructose, which have similar concentrations. Overall, sucrose metabolism accumulation are crucial determinants content there a wide range concentrations among genotypes. To understand mechanisms regulating expression profiles genes involved transport compared four Two sucrose-cleaving enzyme (SUS4 NINV8), one gene...
Acidity is one of the main determinants fruit organoleptic quality. Here, comparative transcriptome analysis was conducted between two cultivars that showed a significant difference in acidity, but contained homozygous non-functional alleles at major gene Ma1 locus controlling apple acidity. A candidate for designated M10, identified. The M10 encodes P-type proton pump, P3A -ATPase, which facilitates malate uptake into vacuole. Ma10 significantly associated with content, accounting ~7.5%...
Abstract Anthocyanin is a vital indicator for both fruit nutritional and commercial value. accumulation surprisingly complicated process mediated by multiple networks associated with genetic, developmental, hormonal, environmental factors. Transcriptional regulation along epigenetic constitutes the dominant molecular framework anthocyanin biosynthesis. Here, we focus on current knowledge regulatory mechanisms of accumulation, emphasis latest progress in transcriptional crosstalk between...
Apple is an economically important fruit crop. Changes in metabolism accompanying human-guided evolution can be revealed using a multiomics approach. We perform genome-wide metabolic analysis of apple fruits collected from 292 wild and cultivated accessions representing various consumption types.We find decreased amounts certain metabolites, including tannins, organic acids, phenolic flavonoids as the transition to apples, while lysolipids increase "Golden Delicious" "Ralls Janet" pedigree,...
Although maturity date (MD) is an essential factor affecting fresh fruit marketing and has a pleiotropic effect on taste qualities, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this study, we functionally characterized two adjacent NAM-ATAF1/2-CUC2 (NAC) transcription factors (TFs), PpNAC1 PpNAC5, both of which were associated with MD in peach. PpNAC5 found capable activating genes cell elongation, wall degradation ethylene biosynthesis, suggesting their regulatory roles enlargement...
