Abstract: 【Objective】 The objective of this study is to investigate the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene (PAL) sequence characters and expression pattern during fruit development and tissue browning in ‘Yali’ pear.【Method】Got full coding domain sequence of PAL by homology-based cloning, the bioinformatic characteristics of the cloned PAL were analyzed using online service, PAL protein phylogenetic tree was constructed by MEGA 5.1 software, analyzed the expression pattern of different development stages of fruit and tissue browning of ‘Yali’ pear by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. 【Result】 Two PAL genes containing full length CDS were obtained and termed PbPAL1 and PbPAL2, respectively. The full length cDNA of PbPAL1 was 2 232 bp, containing 2 160 bp open reading frame, 60 bp 5′ untranslated region and 12 bp 3′ untranslated region (GeneBank Access Number: GU906268.1). The full length cDNA of PbPAL2 was 2 387 bp, containing 2 163 bp open reading frame, 14 bp 5′ untranslated region and 210 bp 3′ untranslated region (GeneBank Access Number: GU906269.1). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that PbPAL1 and PbPAL2 were classified into two different phylogenetic tree branches. PbPAL1 was highly homologous to PAL of Pyrus communis, while PbPAL2 was highly homologous to PAL of Prunus persica. Although the expression levels of the PbPAL1 and PbPAL2 were different in the peel, flesh and core, all of the expression patterns showed a down trend along with fruit development, and were significantly higher in core than those in peel and flesh at early development stage. Wounding treatment could rapidly induce browning of flesh, while slowly induce the browning of peel. In both flesh and peel, the expression levels of PbPAL1 and PbPAL2 were markedly up-regulated by wounding treatment. In peel, the expression level of PbPAL1 appeared a peak at 6 h after wounding treatment, while PbPAL2 mRNA level significantly increased at 48 h after treatment. In flesh, the expression level of PbPAL1 obviously increased at 1 h after wounding treatment, and PbPAL2 began to rise at 12 h after wounding treatment.【Conclusion】PbPAL1 and PbPAL2 belong to different PAL gene types, and their expression showed a decreasing trend along with fruit development, and up-regulated by wounding, thus, they were involved in tissue browning induced by wounding in ‘Yali’ pear.
