Evaluation of Carotenoids Accumulation and Biosynthesis in Two Genotypes of Pomelo (Citrus maxima) during Early Fruit Development.

ABSTRACT: Pomelo is rich in bioactive compounds (carotenoids, phenolics and essential oil) in the early stage of fruit development, but it is often wasted in the cultivation and management process. To gain an insight into the carotenoid metabolism pathway in pomelo, the carotenoid profiles and the expression patterns of carotenogenic genes were investigated in two genotypes of pomelo during early fruit development. The results showed that a higher carotenoid content was observed in honey pomelo as compared with golden pomelo, which may be related to different gene regulation mechanisms. Lutein, α-carotene, and β-carotene were the main carotenoids in pomelo young fruit, and lutein was the highest one. The accumulation of carotenoids during fruit early development in honey pomelo is related to the transcriptional regulation of ZISO and LUT5. In golden pomelo, the rate-limiting gene for carotenoids is PDS and ZDS. In addition, the expression of seven genes except CRTISO in honey pomelo was higher than that in golden pomelo. The results are helpful to further clarify the regulatory mechanism of carotenoid accumulation during early fruit development and provide a direction for the high-value utilization of young fruits in pomelo.

Project description:Pomelo, Citrus maxima, peel was chemically modified with lime water and then loaded with Fe(III) to develop anion exchange sites for effective sequestration of As(V) from water. Biosorbent characterizations were done by using FTIR, SEM, XRD, EDX, and Boehm's titration. The batch biosorption studies were carried out at various pHs using modified and non-modified biosorbents and optimum biosorption of As(V) occurred at acidic pH (3.0-5.0) for both the biosorbents. A kinetic study showed a fast biosorption rate and obtained results fitted well with the pseudo-second-order (PSO) model. When isotherm data were modeled using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, the Langmuir isotherm model fit the data better and produced maximal As(V) biosorption capacities of 0.72 ± 03, 0.86 ± 06, and 0.95 ± 05 mmol/g at temperatures 293± 1K, 298± 1K and 303± 1K, respectively. Desorptionof As(V) was effective using 0.1 M NaOH in batch mode. Negative values of ΔG° for all temperatures with positive ΔH° confirmed the spontaneous and endothermic nature of As(V) biosorption. The existence of co-existing chloride (Cl-), nitrate (NO3 -), sodium (Na+), and calcium (Ca2+) showed insignificant interference whereas a high concentration of sulphate (SO4 2-) and phosphate (PO4 3-) significantly lowered As(V) biosorption percentage. Arsenic concentrations in actual arsenic polluted groundwater could be reduced to the WHO drinking water standard (10 μg/L) by using only 1 g/L of investigated Fe(III)-SPP. The dynamic biosorption of As(V) in a fixed bed system showed that Fe(III)-SPP was effective also in continuous mode and different design parameters for fixed bed system were determined using Thomas, Adams-Bohart, BDST, and Yoon-Nelson models. Therefore, from all of these results it is suggested that Fe(III)-SPP investigated in this study can be a potential, low cost and environmentally benign biosorbent material for an effective removal of trace amounts of arsenic from polluted water.
