Effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on preclimacteric nectarine (Prunus persica cv Stark Red Gold) fruit.

ABSTRACT: Peach is a climacteric fruit whose ripening is largely dependent on ethylene. Recently, it has been shown that auxin is able to autonomously regulate the expression of ripening related genes, and that a cross-talk between ethylene and auxin occurs during the ripening process. By using the non-destructing index of absorbance difference (IAD), mature nectarines were homogeneously grouped into three classes (0, 1 and 2) according to their ripening phase and treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), known to block ethylene receptors. 1-MCP responses differed in the three classes that were thus used to molecularly investigate the auxin-ethylene cross-talk during the transition from maturation to ripening and the accompanying switch of ethylene biosynthesis from System-1 to System-2. Microarray experiments showed that 1-MCP modified the expression of 121 genes (63 were up-regulated and 59 down-regulated). Besides inducing ethylene-, auxin- and ripening-repressed genes and repressing ethylene-, auxin- and ripening-induced genes, also genes induced by ripening, auxin and 1-MCP were discovered. The up-regulating effect of 1-MCP was observed for ctg134, similar to signalling peptides, for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase 1 (ACS1) and, interestingly, for many auxin-regulated genes, such as GH3, whose expression is widely used as a marker for free auxin. The latter finding, together with the induction of an IAA amidohydrolase, suggests that the 1-MCP application could have caused a rise in free auxin, thus leading to an increase in ethylene biosynthesis through the induction of the tightly regulated ACS1 gene.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study was to provide genome-wide data to investigate the molecular mechanism of the interaction between ABA and ethylene during tomato fruit ripening Methods: Regarding the fruits sampled at the 9th day as a well-characterized stage, we used RNA-seq to conducted a comparative analysis of exogenous ABA and NDGA effects on all components involved in biosynthesis and signaling of ethylene and ABA.The identified crucial genes in response to ABA were further performed a ripening time-course analysis by RT-PCR. In addition, we also detected how ethylene affected ABA action at the onset of ripening by treating the fruits with 1-MCP immediately after ABA application. Results: Our study not only illustrated how ABA regulated itself at the transcription level, but also elucidated that ABA can facilitate ethylene production and response by regulating some crucial genes such as LeACS4, LeACO1 and LeETR6 etc. In addition, investigation on the fruits treated with 1-MCP immediately after ABA exposure revealed that ethylene might be essential for the induction of ABA biosynthesis and signaling at the onset of fruit ripening. Furthermore, some specific transcription factors (TFs) known as regulators of ethylene synthesis and sensibility (e.g. MADS-RIN, TAGL1, CNR and NOR etc.) were also observed to be ABA responsive, which implied that ABA influenced ethylene action possibly through the regulation of these TFs expression. Conclusions: Our data suggested that ABA may act as an upstream regulator to modulate ethylene synthesis and signal transduction, which consequently influenced the ripening process. This comprehensive survey not only demonstrated how ABA regulated itself at the molecular level, but also indicated that ABA had a positive impact on ethylene production and action by regulating key genes such as LeACS2, LeACS4, LeACO1 and LeETR6. Besides, our results also revealed that ethylene might be of great importance to induce ABA accumulation and response at the onset of ripening. Moreover, many ripening related TFs, such as MADS-RIN, TAGL1, CNR and NOR, were observed to be affected by ABA, implying that a TF-mediated manner may be involved in the interaction between ABA and ethylene. This study extends our understanding of the mechanism that how ABA-triggered tomato fruit ripening, and illustrates the complex mechanism of reciprocity between ABA and ethylene at the transcription level.
