The ethylene-auxin crosstalk regulates the postharvest fruit ripening process in apple

ABSTRACT: The ripening of climacteric fruits, such as apple, is represented by a series of genetically programmed events orchestrated by the action of several hormones. In this work, we investigated the existence of a hormonal crosstalk between ethylene and auxin during the post-harvest ripening of three internationally known apple cultivars: ‘Golden Deli-cious’, ‘Granny Smith’ and ‘Fuji’. The normal climacteric ripening was impaired by the exogenous application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) that effectively affected the production of ethylene and the physiological behaviour of specific ethylene-related qual-ity traits, such as fruit texture and the production of volatile organic compounds showed a de-novo accumulation of auxin following the application of 1-MCP. The RNA-Seq wide-transcriptome analysis evidenced as the competition at the level of the ethylene re-ceptors induced a cultivar-dependent transcription re-programming. The DEGs annota-tion carried out through the KEGG database identified as most genes were assigned to the plant hormone signaling transduction category, and specifically related to auxin and ethylene. The interplay between these two hormones was further assessed through a candidate gene analysis that highlighted a specific activation of GH3 and ILL genes, en-coding key steps in the process of the auxin homeostasis mechanism. Our results showed that a compromised ethylene metabolism at the onset of the climacteric ripening in apple can stimulate, in a cultivar-dependent fashion, an initial de-novo synthesis and de-conjugation of auxin as a tentative to restore a normal ripening progression.

Integrative approach combining transcriptomic assay with physical and metabolite analysis reveal novel clues about the regulatory mechanism governing the climacteric ripening physiology in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) [WGAA]

Project description:Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) is a model fruit species to study the metabolic changes occurring at the onset of ripening as well the physiological mechanism governed by the hormone ethylene. In this survey, to dissect the climacteric interplay in apple, a multidisciplinary approach was employed. To this end, a comprehensive analysis of gene expression together with the investigation of several physiological entities (texture, volatilome and polyphenolic compounds) was carried out throughout fruit development and ripening. The transcriptomic profiling was conducted with two microarray platforms, a custom array dedicated to fruit ripening pathways (iRIPE) and a whole genome array specifically enriched of ripening related genes for apple (WGAA). The transcriptomic and phenotypic changes following the application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an ethylene inhibitor, were also highlighted. The suppression of ethylene modified and delayed the ethylene receptors turnover, leading to important modifications in the overall fruit physiology. The integrative comparative network analysis showed both negative and positive correlations between ripening related transcripts and accumulation of specific metabolites or texture components. The ripening distortion caused by the inhibition of the ethylene perception besides affecting the ethylene and texture control, stimulated the de-repression of auxin related genes, transcription factors and photosynthethic genes. In the end, the comprehensive repertoire of results obtained here step forwards in the elucidation of the multi-layered control of ethylene, hypothesizing a possible hormonal cross-talk coupled with a transcriptional regulation. whole genome array specifically enriched of ripening related genes for apple (WGAA) with two cultivars (Golden Delicious and Granny Smith)

Effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on preclimacteric nectarine (Prunus persica cv Stark Red Gold) fruit.

Project description:Peach is a climacteric fruit whose ripening is largely dependent on ethylene. Recently, it has been shown that auxin is able to autonomously regulate the expression of ripening related genes, and that a cross-talk between ethylene and auxin occurs during the ripening process. By using the non-destructing index of absorbance difference (IAD), mature nectarines were homogeneously grouped into three classes (0, 1 and 2) according to their ripening phase and treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), known to block ethylene receptors. 1-MCP responses differed in the three classes that were thus used to molecularly investigate the auxin-ethylene cross-talk during the transition from maturation to ripening and the accompanying switch of ethylene biosynthesis from System-1 to System-2. Microarray experiments showed that 1-MCP modified the expression of 121 genes (63 were up-regulated and 59 down-regulated). Besides inducing ethylene-, auxin- and ripening-repressed genes and repressing ethylene-, auxin- and ripening-induced genes, also genes induced by ripening, auxin and 1-MCP were discovered. The up-regulating effect of 1-MCP was observed for ctg134, similar to signalling peptides, for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase 1 (ACS1) and, interestingly, for many auxin-regulated genes, such as GH3, whose expression is widely used as a marker for free auxin. The latter finding, together with the induction of an IAA amidohydrolase, suggests that the 1-MCP application could have caused a rise in free auxin, thus leading to an increase in ethylene biosynthesis through the induction of the tightly regulated ACS1 gene.

Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of phytohormone pathway genes and miRNAs in ABA initiated strawberry receptacle ripening

Project description:We used Illumina sequencing to investigate the global transcriptomic expression of hormonal pathway genes in ABA initiated strawberry receptacle ripening. Expression profiles of hormone synthetic and signaling genes further demonstrated the positive roles of ABA and GA, and the negative role of auxin in receptacle ripening. We also evaluated the transcript profiling of ethylene and JA pathway genes, and the results suggested that both ethylene and JA participated in receptacle ripening. Furthermore, two novel miRNAs and three conserved miRNAs were identified and validated to target genes in ABA and auxin pathways, respectively. Our analyses reveal the molecular mechanism of hormonal regulation during strawberry receptacle ripening. The data also provide an abundant of genetic information for molecular manipulation on non-climacteric fruit ripening. Sample 1: CK0 (Strawberry fruit two weeks after athesis treated with water, set as day 0); Sample 2: CK5 (fruit treated with water on day 5); Sample 3: CK8 (fruit treated with water on day 8); Sample 4: ABA5 (fruit treated with ABA on day 5); Sample 5: ABA8 (fruit treated with ABA on day 5); Sample 6: NDGA5 (fruit treated with water on day 5); Sample 7: NDGA8 (fruit treated with NDGA on day 8).

fruitENCODE: An encyclopedia of DNA elements for fruit ripening

Project description:Fleshy fruits evolved independently multiple times during angiosperm history, including the use of ethylene for the initiation and maintenance of ripening. ENCODE data of 355 transcriptome, 66 accessible chromatin, 160 histone and 45 DNA methylation profiles from eleven fleshy fruit species revealed three types of transcriptional feedback loops controlling ripening. Eudicots peach, papaya and melon evolved their circuits using carpel senescence NAC genes, whereas tomato, apple and pear utilized floral identity MADS genes derived from recent whole-genome-duplications. The monocot banana used both, forming a unique dual-loop circuit. Genes in these circuits and their tissue-specific H3K27me3 mark could be traced back to both dry fruits and ethylene-independent fleshy fruits, suggesting that the ethylene-dependent ripening mechanisms evolved from pre-existing genetic and epigenetic pathways in the ancestral angiosperms. FruitENCODE provides a comprehensive annotation of functional elements for fleshy fruit crops and new insight into the origins of climacteric fruit ripening.

Effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and ozone (Ο 3 ) post-harvest treatments on the proteomic profiling of Granny Smith apple peel (Malus x domestica Borkh) after cold storage

Project description:Superficial scald is a major physiological disorder in apple fruit that is induced by cold storage and is mainly expressed as brown necrotic patches on peel tissue. However, a global view of the gene-protein-metabolite interactome underlying scald prevention/sensitivity is currently missing. Herein, we have found for the first time that cold storage in an atmosphere enriched with ozone (O3) induced scald symptoms in ‘Granny Smith’ apple fruits during subsequent ripening at room temperature. In contrast, treatment with the ethylene perception inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) reversed this O3-induced scald effect. Amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids, were the most strongly induced metabolites in peel tissue of 1-MCP treated fruits. Proteins involved in oxidative stress and protein trafficking were differentially accumulated prior to and during scald development. Genes involved in photosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis and ethylene signaling displayed significant alterations in response to 1-MCP and O3. Analysis of regulatory module networks identified putative transcription factors (TFs) that could be involved in scald. Subsequently, a transcriptional network of the genes-proteins-metabolites and the connected TFs was constructed. This approach enabled identification of several genes co-regulated by TFs, notably encoding glutathione S-transferase (GST) protein(s) with distinct signatures following 1-MCP and O3 treatments. Overall, this study is an important contribution to future functional studies and breeding programs for this fruit, aiding to the development of improved apple cultivars to superficial scald.

Ethylene and 1-MCP differentially regulate gene expression during onion (Allium cepa L.) sprout suppression

Project description:Onion is regarded as non-climacteric. In onion, ethylene can suppress sprouting however, the ethylene binding inhibitor, 1-MCP can also suppress sprout growth although it is unknown how ethylene and 1-MCP elicit the same response. In this study, onion bulbs were treated with 10 μL L-1 ethylene or 1 μL L-1 1-MCP individually or in combination for 24 h at 20°C before or after curing (six weeks) at 20 or 28°C then stored at 1°C. Following curing, a subset of these same onion bulbs was stored separately under continuous air or ethylene (10 μL L-1) at 1°C
