Project description:Colored-leaf plants are increasingly popular and have been attracting more and more attentions. However, studies about the anthocyanin components and molecular mechanisms of anthocyanin biosynthesis in QHP and ZSY was still unclear. In present study, an integrated metabolite and transcriptome profiling analysis was performed to explore the anthocyanin compositions and the specific regulatory network of anthocyanin biosynthesis in purple leaves of QHP and ZSY. A total of 39 anthocyanin compounds were detected based on the LC-MS/MS analysis. Of these, 12 cyanidins, 7 pelargonidins, 5 delphindins, and 5 procyanidins are the major anthocyanin compounds, which were significantly differentially accumulated in purple leaves of QHP and ZSY. The major genes associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis, including structural genes and TFs, were differentially expressed in the purple leaves of QHP and ZSY through RNA-seq data analysis, some of which were further assessed by qRT-PCR. Correlation between RNA-seq analysis and metabolite profiling showed that the expression pattern of some differentially expressed genes in anthocyanin biosynthes pathway were closely correlated with the differential accumulation of anthocyanins. In addition, one member of SG5 subgroup of R2R3-MYB TFs, Podel.04G021100, shows a similar expression pattern to some structure genes and closely correlates with sixteen anthocyanin compounds, indicating that the MBY TF (Podel.04G021100) may be involved in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis. The above results not only make us systematic and comprehensive understand the anthocyanin components and corresponding molecular mechanisms of anthocyanin biosynthesis in purple leaves of QHP and ZSY, but also contribute to the promotion and application of anthocyanins in colored-leaf poplars.

Project description:Anthocyanins are specialized plant metabolites with significant dietary value due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Extensive research has indicated that dietary intake of these phenolic compounds contributes to preventing various chronic diseases. Consequently, incorporating anthocyanin-rich foods into one's diet, particularly from natural sources, is highly beneficial. The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the most consumed vegetable worldwide, making it an excellent candidate for anthocyanin-enrichment strategies. The activation of anthocyanin biosynthesis is light-dependent in tomato, but this mechanism has not been entirely characterized. In this study, a purple tomato line in the cv. Micro-Tom (MT-Aft/atv/hp2) was utilized to investigate cyanic fruits developed under varying light conditions. This genotype is derived from natural genetic variation and exhibits anthocyanin accumulation starting early in fruit development. Transcriptional analyses of the fruit peel (exocarp or epicarp) and flesh (mesocarp) revealed that the bHLH transcription factor SlAN1 (Solyc09g065100) is the limiting factor for anthocyanin accumulation in both tissues. In this genotype, the absence of anthocyanin accumulation in the flesh results from the sun-blocking effect of the cyanic epicarp on the mesocarp, preventing light from penetrating deeper into the fruit during its development. This research enhances our comprehension of the genetic and environmental regulation of anthocyanin accumulation in fruit tissues, offering valuable insights for plant breeding and human nutrition.

Project description:Background: Anthocyanins are the most important compounds for nutritional quality and economic values of blood orange. However, there are few reports on the pre-harvest treatment accelerate the accumulation of anthocyanins in postharvest blood orange fruit. Here, we performed a comparative Transcriptome and metabolomics analysis to elucidate the underlying mechanism involved in seasonal drought (SD) treatment during fruit expansion stage on anthocyanin accumulation in postharvest ‘Tarocco’ blood orange fruit. Results: Our results showed that SD treatment slowed down the fruit enlargement and increased the sugar accumulation during fruit development and matured period. Obviously, under SD treatment, the accumulation of anthocyanin in blood orange fruit during postharvest storage was significantly accelerated and markedly higher than that in CK. Meanwhile, the total flavonoids and phenols contents and antioxidant activity in SD treatment fruit were also sensibly increased during postharvest storage. Based on metabolome, we found that substrates required for anthocyanin biosynthesis, such as amino acids and their derivatives, and phenolic acids, have significantly accumulated and higher in SD treated mature fruit compared with that of CK. Further according to the results of transcriptome data and weighted gene coexpression correlation network analysis (WGCNA) analysis, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL3) was considered key structural gene. qRT-PCR analysis verified that the PAL3 was highly expressed in SD treated postharvest stored fruit and was significantly positively correlated with the anthocyanin content. Moreover, we found that other structural genes in anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway were also upregulated under SD treatment through transcriptome data and qRT-PCR analysis. Conclusions: The findings suggest that SD treatment promotes the accumulation of substrates necessary for anthocyanin biosynthesis during fruit ripening process, and activates the expression of anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway genes during postharvest storage period, especially PAL3, co-contributed to the rapid accumulation of anthocyanin. The present study provides a theoretical basis for postharvest quality control and water-saving utilization of blood orange fruit.

Project description:Purple-grain wheat are caused by anthocyanin accumulation in the seed coat. But little is known about molecular mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis. The anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation were affected by light in purple-grain wheat. The spikes of purple-grain wheat Luozhen No.1 were bagged with four-layer Kraft paper bags after pollination. To identify genes involved in the anthocyanin biosynthesis, we sequenced four pericarp cDNA libraries, D15 (15 DAP), D20 (20 DAP) of shading treatment, and L15 (15 DAP), L20 (20 DAP) of untreated control using an Illumina HiSeqTM 2000. After quality control, raw reads are filtered into clean reads which will be aligned to the reference sequences. The alignment data is utilized to calculate distribution of reads on reference genes and mapping ratio, and proceed with downstream analysis including gene and isoform expression, deep analysis based on gene expression (PCA/correlation/screening differentially expressed genes and so on),exon expression, gene structure refinement, alternative splicing, novel transcript prediction and annotation, SNP detection, Indel detection. Further, we also perform deep analysis based on different expression genes, including Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Pathway enrichment analysis, cluster analysis, and finding transcriptor factor.

Project description:Peel color is a key factor that affects the fruit’s aesthetic and economic values. In Red Sugar pineapple, the peels’ red color reduces during maturation. Limited knowledge is available on the regulation of pineapple peel discoloration, which makes it important to study the molecular mechanisms associated with this important trait. Here, we report that a decrease in anthocyanin biosynthesis is predominantly associated with the pineapple peel color change during maturation. Particularly the exclusive accumulation of cyanidin in 60 days after flowering (DAF) as compared to 120 DAF gives the fruit peel its distinct reddish color. Our findings suggest that the changes in the expression of key structural genes (early and late biosynthetic genes) of the anthocyanin (cyanidin) biosynthesis pathway are responsible for peel discoloration. Based on a gene co-expression analysis and a transient expression, we identified two transcription factors i.e., AcHOX21 and AcMYB12, and showed that their downregulation leads to the reduced anthocyanin accumulation with fruit maturation.

Project description:MicroRNA172 (miR172) plays a role in regulating a diverse range of plant developmental processes. However, its role in regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis is unclear. In this study, we show that transgenic apple plants over-expressing miR172 show a reduction in red colouration and anthocyanin accumulation in multiple tissue types. This reduction was consistent with decreased expression of APETALA2 homolog MdAP2_1a (a miR172 target gene), MdMYB10, and targets of MdMYB10, as demonstrated by both RNA-seq and RT-PCR analyses. During the onset of anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple fruit skin, miR172 transcript abundance was negatively correlated and MdAP2_1a mRNA concentration was positively correlated with fruit skin red-colouration. The positive role of MdAP2_1a in regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis was supported by the enhanced petal anthocyanin accumulation in transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing MdAP2_1a, and by the reduction in anthocyanin accumulation in apple and cherry fruits transfected with an MdAP2_1a virus-induced-gene-silencing construct. We demonstrated that MdAP2_1a could bind directly to the promoter and protein sequences of MdMYB10 in yeast and tobacco, and enhance MdMYB10 promotor activity. In Arabidopsis, over-expression of miR172 reduced anthocyanin concentration and RNA transcript abundance of anthocyanin genes in plantlets cultured on medium containing 7% sucrose. The anthocyanin content and RNA abundance of anthocyanin genes could be partially restored by using a synonymous mutant of MdAP2_1a, which had lost the miR172 target sequences at mRNA level, but not restored by using a WT MdAP2_1a. These results indicate that miR172 inhibits anthocyanin biosynthesis through suppressing the expression of an AP2 transcription factor that positively regulates MdMYB10.

Project description:Background: Pear is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide. Anthocyanins and procyanidins (PAs) are important secondary metabolites that affect the appearance and nutritive quality of pear. However, few studies have focused on the molecular mechanism underlying anthocyanin and PA accumulation in pear. Results: We conducted metabolome and transcriptome analyses to identify candidate genes involved in anthocyanin and PA accumulation in young fruits of the pear cultivar ‘Clapp Favorite’ (CF) and its red mutation cultivar ‘Red Clapp Favorite’ (RCF). Gene–metabolite correlation analyses revealed a ‘core set’ of 20 genes that were strongly correlated with 10 anthocyanin and seven PA metabolites. Of these, PcGSTF12 was confirmed to be involved in anthocyanin and PA accumulation by complementation of the tt19-7 Arabidopsis mutant. Interestingly, PcGSTF12 was found to be responsible for the accumulation of procyanidin A3, but not petunidin 3, 5-diglucoside, opposite to the function of AtGSTs in Arabidopsis. Transformation with PcGSTF12 greatly promoted or repressed genes involved in anthocyanin and PA biosynthesis, regulation, and transport. Electrophoretic mobility shift and luciferase reporter assays confirmed positive regulation of PcGSTF12 by PcMYB114. Conclusion: These findings identify a core set of genes for anthocyanin and PA accumulation in pear. Of these, PcGSTF12 was confirmed to be involved in anthocyanin and PA accumulation. Our results also identified an important anthocyanin and PA regulation node comprising two core genes, PcGSTF12 and PcMYB114. These results provide novel insights into anthocyanin and PA accumulation in pear and represent a valuable data set to guide future functional studies and pear breeding.

Project description:n Arabidopsis and other species, anthocyanin accumulation specifically depends on light signaling. The CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC1/SUPPRESSOR OF PHYA-105 (COP1/SPA) complex is required for the control of anthocyanin biosynthesis in response to light, but the precise mechanism underlying this process is largely unknown. Here we report that Increase in BONSAI Methylation 1 (IBM1), a JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase, participates in the regulation of light-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. Loss-of-function mutations of IBM1 lead to accelerated anthocyanin accumulation in high light. We further identified that IBM1 is directly associated with SPA1/2/3 chromatin in vivo, whereas knockout of IBM1 resulted in an elevated level of H3K9 methylation and DNA non-CG sites within SPA genes, thereby repressing their expression. Transgenic ibm1 plants overexpressing SPA1demonstrated that SPA1 was capable of complementing the mutant phenotype. Our results reveal a novel mechanism that controls the epigenetic regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis and offer insight into how plant adapt to high light stress. This study could contribute to a better understanding of the linkage between light signaling and anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants
