Physicochemical Characteristics, Antioxidant Activities, and Aroma Compound Analysis of Seven Peach Cultivars (Prunus persica L. Batsch) in Shihezi, Xinjiang.

ABSTRACT: Peaches are tasty and juicy, with a unique flavor. The flavors of peaches always vary with cultivars. To investigate the physicochemical and aroma characteristics of peaches, the sugars, organic acids, total flavonoids, phenols, antioxidant activities, and aroma compounds of seven peach cultivars in Xinjiang were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). The results showed that sucrose (59.83 to 87.34%), malic acid (32.41 to 59.14%), and chlorogenic acid (10.43 to 45.50%) were the dominant sugar, organic acid, and phenolic compound in peaches, respectively. The antioxidant activity varied between 147.81 and 394.55 μmol TEs/100 g. The analysis of the aroma structure of peaches found that the volatile composition of peaches was relatively consistent, though the concentration of total aroma and certain separate compounds were different between cultivars. Meanwhile, the aroma fingerprint of the peaches consisted of hexyl acetate, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, γ-decalactone, n-hexanal, 2-hexenal, nonanal, decanal benzaldehyde and 6-pentylpyran-2-one, providing a clear green, sweet, floral, and fruity odor. These results provide complete information on the physicochemical properties, functional ingredients and aroma of the peaches.

Project description:BackgroundMADS-box genes encode a family of eukaryotic transcription factors distinguished by the presence of a highly-conserved ~58 amino acid DNA-binding and dimerization domain (the MADS-box). The central role played by MADS-box genes in peach endodormancy regulation led us to examine this large gene family in more detail. We identified the locations and sequences of 79 MADS-box genes in peach, separated them into established subfamilies, and broadly surveyed their tissue-specific and dormancy-induced expression patterns using next-generation sequencing. We then focused on the dormancy-related SVP/AGL24 and FLC subfamilies, comparing their numbers and phylogenetic relationships with those of other sequenced woody perennial genomes.ResultsWe identified 79 MADS-box genes distributed across all eight peach chromosomes and frequently located in clusters of two or more genes. They encode proteins with a mean length of 248 ± 72 amino acids and include representatives from most of the thirteen Type II (MIKC) subfamilies, as well as members of the Type I Mα, Mβ, and Mγ subfamilies. Most Type I genes were present in species-specific monophyletic lineages, and their expression in the peach sporophyte was low or absent. Most Type II genes had Arabidopsis orthologs and were expressed at much higher levels throughout vegetative and fruit tissues. During short-day-induced growth cessation, seven Type II genes from the SVP/AGL24, AGL17, and SEP subfamilies showed significant changes in expression. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that multiple, independent expansions have taken place within the SVP/AGL24 and FLC lineages in woody perennial species.ConclusionsMost Type I genes appear to have arisen through tandem duplications after the divergence of the Arabidopsis and peach lineages, whereas Type II genes appear to have increased following whole genome duplication events. An exception to the latter rule occurs in the FLC and SVP/AGL24 Type II subfamilies, in which species-specific tandem duplicates have been retained in a number of perennial species. These subfamilies comprise part of a genetic toolkit that regulates endodormancy transitions, but phylogenetic and expression data suggest that individual orthologs may not function identically across all species.

Project description:Bud break timing in peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] is determined by the sequential fulfillment of a chilling requirement (CR) and a heat requirement (HR) for development. Genotypic variation in CR has been well characterized in peach. Adapting peaches to low chilling environment through reduced CR can make them susceptible to crop destroying spring frosts, if bloom occurs too early. Potential variation in HR between accessions has received less attention due to the methodological difficulty in assessing HR independently of CR. HR could vary in the magnitude of growing degree hours (GDHs) and/or the base temperature at which GDH accumulation begins. Characterizing HR traits in peach accessions could allow improved bloom time modeling and selection of phenotypes with improved spring frost avoidance through delayed bloom. We estimated GDH and apparent base temperature for floral bud break by observing time to floral bud break at several constant forcing temperatures. We evaluated 54 peach accessions (representing a range of CR) in which chilling had been saturated after >1,700 h at 3°C. Accessions differed widely in both the GDH requirement (2,015 to 11,191°C⋅h) and apparent base temperature (-1.85 to 8.69°C) for GDH accumulation. GDH and apparent base temperature were negatively correlated. A simulation exercise was performed to assess relative importance of varying base temperature vs. GDH for delaying bloom at different chilling accumulations at three locations in the southeastern United States using 30 years of historical weather data. The aim of this study was to determine whether there may be unrecognized diversity in peach germplasm for two HR traits (base temperature and thermal time) to enable breeding efforts to delay floral bud break and reduce the frost exposure risk of developing flowers and fruits. Our results suggest that selecting cultivars for increased GDH would be a safer, more reliable strategy for delaying bloom than increasing base temperature for GDH accumulation.
