摘要:

【目的】库尔勒香梨萼片脱落有助于其果实品质提升。通过多组学联合分析,探究库尔勒香梨萼片脱落的分子机制,明确萼片脱落过程中的差异表达基因和蛋白,以及参与的代谢通路和信号传导途径,丰富库尔勒香梨萼片脱落机理,为进一步研究库尔勒香梨萼片脱落机制,以及生产上利用生理、分子等技术调控库尔勒香梨萼片脱落提供理论依据。【方法】以库尔勒香梨为研究材料,选取萼片离区形成关键期脱萼果离区和宿萼果离区对应部位为研究对象,进行转录组和蛋白质组的测序与联合分析,利用多种生物信息学工具筛选差异表达基因与蛋白,重点分析与脱落相关的基因与蛋白,明确其参与的代谢通路和信号传导途径,最后通过实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)验证差异表达基因。【结果】通过转录组分析共获得393个差异表达基因,主要富集在细胞壁生物合成、植物型细胞壁组织或生物合成、植物型细胞壁生物合成、植物型次生细胞壁生物合成、苯丙烷类代谢过程等,以及代谢途径、次生代谢物的生物合成及戊糖和葡糖醛酸相互转化等通路,表明差异表达基因大多参与细胞壁的代谢。通过蛋白质组分析共获得256个差异表达蛋白,联合分析结果显示,差异表达基因和蛋白主要富集在苯丙烷生物合成、各种植物次生代谢产物的生物合成、植物激素信号转导、戊糖和葡糖醛酸相互转化等通路,筛选出与植物激素(如乙烯响应转录因子、吲哚-3-乙酸O-甲基转移酶基因)和细胞壁相关基因(如果胶裂解酶基因、果胶酯酶基因、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶基因、过氧化物酶基因),它们在库尔勒香梨萼片脱落过程中发挥着重要作用。此外,对所筛选的10个差异表达基因进行实时荧光定量PCR验证,其表达趋势与测序结果一致。【结论】从基因转录与蛋白质表达层面初步确定了库尔勒香梨萼片脱落的调控机制,筛选出植物激素和细胞壁相关的基因与蛋白,明确了库尔勒香梨萼片脱落过程主要涉及苯丙烷生物合成、植物激素信号转导、戊糖和葡糖醛酸相互转化通路。

Abstract:

【Objective】Calyx abscission in Korla Xiangli contributes to the improvement of fruit quality. Through multi-omics integrated analysis, the molecular mechanism of calyx abscission in Korla Xiangli was explored. The differentially expressed genes and proteins during the abscission process, as well as the involved metabolic pathways and signal transduction pathways were identified. This enriched the understanding of the abscission mechanism of calyx and provided a theoretical basis for further research on the abscission mechanism of calyx in Korla Xiangli. It also laid the foundation for the application of physiological and molecular techniques in regulating calyx abscission in Korla Xiangli in production. 【Method】Using Korla Xiangli pear as the research material, the clayx abscission zone of decalyx fruits and the corresponding parts of the abscission zone of persistent calyx fruits at the critical period of abscission zone formation were selected as research objects. Transcriptome and proteome sequencing, along with integrated analysis were performed. Multiple bioinformatics tools were employed to screen differentially expressed genes and proteins. The genes and proteins related to abscission were analyzed in detail, and the metabolic pathways and signal transduction pathways they participated in were identified. Finally, the differentially expressed genes were verified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). 【Result】A total of 393 differentially expressed genes were obtained through transcriptome analysis. These genes were mainly enriched in cell wall biosynthesis, plant-type cell wall organization or biogenesis, plant-type cell wall biosynthesis, plant-type secondary cell wall biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid metabolic processes, etc., as well as metabolic pathways, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and mutual Pentose and glucuronate interconversions, which indicated that most differentially expressed genes were involved in cell wall metabolism. A total of 256 differentially expressed proteins were obtained through proteome analysis. The integrated analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes and proteins were mainly enriched in pathways of plant hormone signal transduction, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, zeatin biosynthesis, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. Plant hormone-related genes (e.g., ethylene-responsive transcription factors, indole-3-acetic O-methyltransferase gene) and genes/proteins involved in cell wall degradation (e.g., pectin lyase gene, pectin esterase gene, polygalacturonase gene, peroxidase gene) were screened out, playing critical roles in calyx abscission of Korla Xiangli. In addition, the expression trends of 10 differentially expressed genes verified by qRT-PCR were consistent with the sequencing results. 【Conclusion】The regulation mechanism of calyx abscission in Korla Xiangli was determined from the levels of gene transcription and protein expression. Genes and proteins related to plant hormones and cell wall degrading enzymes were screened out, and clarified that the calyx abscission process of Korla Xiangli mainly involved in pathways such as phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, plant hormone signal transduction, pentose and glucuronate interconversions.
