Metabolic and Proteomic Reveals of 7Li (Lithium-7) Ion Beam Radiation in <i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), a globally cultivated and ancient domesticated crop, carries considerable significance in agriculture. While radiation-induced mutagenesis has found application in this crop, the mutagenic efficacy and molecular-level impacts of 7Li ion beam radiation remain poorly elucidated.

Methods

We irradiated pepper with a beam of 7Li ions to create a mutant, which showed good economic traits, and phenotypic and physio-biochemical characterization were combined with proteomic and metabolomic profiling to delineate the mutagenic mechanisms. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was further utilized to assess the biological impact and underlying response pathways. We used this to evaluate the biological impact and the reaction mechanism
