ITRAQ-Based Identification of Proteins Related to Lignin Synthesis in the Pear Pollinated with Pollen from Different Varieties.

ABSTRACT: Most pears in Anhui Province are a kind of self-incompatible fruit whose quality is strongly influenced by the male pollen. The proteomic variation of Dangshan Su pollinated by different varieties was analysed using the isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to investigate the effect of pollination by different varieties on the pear lignin pathway. Among the 3980 proteins identified from the two samples, 139 proteins were identified as differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). Of these proteins, laccase-4 (LAC4), was found to be related with lignin synthesis, and β-glucosidase 15 (BGLU15) and peroxidase 47 (PER47) were involved in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Moreover, the lignin and stone cell contents were lower in DW (Dangshan Su pollinated by Wonhwang) than those in DJ (Dangshan Su pollinated by Jingbaili). The effect of pollination on the synthesis of lignin through the regulation of the expression of PER47, BGLU15 and LAC4 ultimately affects the formation of stone cells and the fruit quality. We report for the first time that different pollinations influence the protein expression profile in the Dangshan Su pear, and this result provides some new epididymal targets for regulating the synthesis of lignin, regulating the content of stone cells and improving the quality of the pears.

Project description:Pear (Pyrus communis L.) is widely spread throughout the temperate regions of the world, such as China, America and Australia. This fruit is popular among consumers due to its excellent taste and perceived health benefits. Various bioactive compounds, which contribute to these health benefits, have been detected in the pear fruits, including a range of phenolic compounds. Five Australian grown pear varieties, which include Packham's Triumph, Josephine de Malines, Beurre Bosc, Winter Nelis and Rico were selected for this study to examine the phenolic compounds in pears. Beurre Bosc exhibited the highest total polyphenol content (TPC) (3.14 ± 0.02 mg GAE/g), total tannin content (TTC) (1.43 ± 0.04 mg CE/g) and 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (5.72 ± 0.11 mg AAE/g), while the Josephine de Malines variety was high in total flavonoid content (TFC) (1.53 ± 0.09 mg QE/g), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) (4.37 ± 0.04 mg AAE/g), 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) (4.44 ± 0.01 mg AAE/g) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (5.29 ± 0.09 mg AAE/g). The liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray-ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS) data indicate that a total of 73 phenolic compounds were detected in Beurre Bosc (37 compounds), Josephine de Malines (34), Rico (22), Packham's Triumph (15) and Winter Nelis (9), respectively. From HPLC-PDA quantification, the Beurre Bosc pear variety showed significantly higher in phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid; 17.58 ± 0.88 mg/g) and while flavonoids were significantly higher in Josephine de Malines (catechin; 17.45 ± 1.39 mg/g), as compared to other pear varieties. The analyses suggest that the Australian grown pears might contain an ideal source of phenolic compounds which benefit human health. The information provided by the present work can serve as practical supporting data for the use of pears in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and food industries.
