Abstract: 【Objective】The composition content and structure of pigments in Rosa rugosa ‘Zi zhi’ and their biosynthetic pathways were studied in order to lay a foundation for further investigation of the floral pigment mechanism and molecular breeding of R. rugosa. 【Method】 Anthocyanins, flavonoids and carotenes in the petals of flowers at different blooming stages were determined using HPLC and ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-Q-TOF-MS). The biosynthetic pathways of anthocyanins in R. rugosa ‘Zi zhi’ were proposed according to the results of HPLC, UPLC-DAD-Q- TOF-MS and chemical reactions. 【Result】 In all, 8 kinds of anthocyanins, 16 kinds of flavones and flavonol glycosides and β-carotene were detected from the petals of R. rugosa ‘Zi zhi’, but xanthin was not detected. The main structures of the anthocyanins were bioside of peonidin, delphinidin, cyanindin and pelargondin. The highest relative contents of the four anthocyanins were detected at budding-flower and initial flowering stages. Two types of methylation of paeonidin were detected while no methylation was detected in delphindin. The main compounds of flavonoid were glycosylations, acylations, methylated quercetin and kaempferol. The results of quantitative analysis showed that the contents of paeonidin and delphindin accounted for more than 90% of the total anthocyanins. The content of paeonidin was reduced with the color fading while the content of delphindin was stable at all stages and the ratio of paeonidin to delphindin was reduced with the flower blooming.【Conclusion】There are peonidin, delphinidin, cyanindin and pelargondin in the petals of R. rugosa‘Zi Zhi’. The four anthocyanins are synthesized at the budding-flower and initial flowering stages, and the contents of them are reduced during the flower blooming. Peonidin is the main composition that determines the flower color of R. rugosaZi zhi’. The catalytic reactions of RrAOMT exhibit substrate specific patterns.
