Spatial and Temporal Disparity Analyses of Glycosylated Benzaldehyde and Identification and Expression Pattern Analyses of Uridine Diphosphate Glycosyltransferase Genes in Prunus mume.

ABSTRACT: The species Prunus mume consists of uniquely aromatic woody perennials with large amounts of free aromatic substances in the flower cells. Uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase (UGT) modifies these free aromatic substances into water-soluble glycoside-bound volatiles (GBVs) which play an important role in regulating the use of volatiles by plants for information exchange, defense, and stress tolerance. To investigate the changes in the glycosidic state of aromatic substances during the flowering period of P. mume and discern the location and expression of glycoside synthesis genes, we extracted and enzymatically hydrolyzed GBVs of P. mume and then utilized gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to characterize and analyze the types and contents of GBV glycoside
