Project description:Chayote (Sechium edule) fruits are rich in flavonoids, folate, and low-calorie food. However, studies about the flavonoids and regulatory mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in chayote fruits was still unclear. In present study, a transcriptome analysis and metabolite profiling of chayote fruits at three different storage stages were conducted to explore the flavonoid compositions and gene expression associated with flavonoid synthesis. Through the UPLC-MS/MS analysis, a total of 57 flavonoid compounds were detected. Of these, 42 flavonoid glycosides were significantly differential accumulation in chayote fruits at three different storage stages. Many genes associated with flavonoid synthesis were differentially expressed in chayote fruits at three different storage stages through RNA-seq analysis, including structural genes and some TFs. There was a high correlation between RNA-seq analysis and metabolite profiling, and the expression level of candidate genes in the flavonoid synthesis pathway were consistent with the dynamic changes of flavonoids. In addition, one R2R3-MYB transcription factor, FSG0057100, was defined as the critical regulatory gene of flavonoid synthesis. Furthermore, we treated chayote fruits during storage with phenylalanine, and the results show exogenous phenylalanine applications might promote the flavonoid synthesis. Phenylalanine is a effective additive to maintain or improve the total content flavonoids in chayote fruit during storage, can apply the phenylalanine in the postharvest storage of chayote. The above results not only make us better understand the molecular mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in chayote fruits, but also contribute to the promotion and application of chayote products.

Project description:We performed RNA-Seq technology for quantification of differential expression of cacao cell suspensions under light/dark conditions. By obtaining over 15 millions of reads per sample, we cuantified the differential gene expression in structural, regulatory and light signaling genes associated with flavonoid biosynthesis. Our results indicated that light treatments can effectively regulate flavonoid profiles, shifting catechin - epicatechin ratios, in particular as a response to switching from white to blue light. The results demonstrated that HY5, MYB12, ANR and LAR were differentially regulated under light/dark conditions and could be targeted by overexpression aiming to improve catechin synthesis in cell cultures. Additionally, co-expression analyses of late flavonoid biosynthetic genes ANS, ANR and LAR showed a larger number of shared partners in the dark compared to selective partners in white-blue treatment. In conclusion, our RNA-Seq analysis of cacao cells cultured under different light conditions provides a platform to dissect key aspects into the genetic regulatory network of flavonoids. These light-responsive candidate genes can be used further to modulate the flavonoid production in in vitro systems with value-added characteristics.

Project description:Background: Dendrobium officinale, an endangered Chinese herb, has extensive therapeutic effects and contains bioactive ingredients including a large number of polysaccharides and alkaloids, and minimal flavonoids. Firstly, this study attempts to obtain the protocorm-like bodies of this plant through tissue culture to produce the main secondary metabolites whose distribution in each organelle and protocorm like bodies is analyzed. Then, analysis of the correlation between comparative transcriptome sequence and the metabolite content in different organs enables the discovery of putative genes encoding enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of polysaccharides and alkaloids, and flavonoids. Results: The optimum condition for protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) induction and propagation of D. officinale is established. For protocorm induction, we use the seed as the explant, and the optimum medium formula for PLBs propagation is 1/2 MS + α-NAA 0.5 mg·L-1 +6-BA 1.0 mg·L-1 + 2, 4-D 1.5-2.0 mg·L-1 + potato juice 100 g·L-1. The distribution of polysaccharides, alkaloids and flavonoids in D. officinale organs was clarified. Stems, PLBs and leaves have the highest content of polysaccharides, alkaloids and flavonoids, respectively. PLBs replace organs to produce alkaloids in D. officinale, and naringenin was only produced in stem. Hot water extraction (HWE) method was found outperforming the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method for polysaccharides from D. officinale. A comparative transcriptome analysis of the protocorm-like bodies and leaves of D. officinale showed genes encoding enzymes involved in polysaccharides, alkaloids and flavonoids biosynthetic pathway were differentially expressed. Putative genes encoding enzymes involved in polysaccharides, alkaloids and flavonoids synthetic pathway were identified. Notably, genes encoding enzymes of strictosidine beta-glucosidase, geissoschizine synthase and vinorine synthase in alkaloids biosynthesis of D. officinale are first reported. Conclusions: Our works, especially the identification of candidate genes encoding enzymes involved in metabolites biosynthesis will help to explore and protect the endangered genetic resources and will also facilitate further analysis of the molecular mechanism of secondary metabolites’ biosynthesis in D. officinale.

Project description:Scutellaria viscidula Bunge (Labiatae), a perennial herb, is an important medicinal plant that possesses broad pharmacological actions. S. viscidula contains flavonoids with good bioactivities (e.g. baicalin, wogonoside, baicalein and wogonin) mainly in its dry root, which is used as alternative to Scutellaria baicalensis in the north of China. Furthermore, S. viscidula also has flavones with interesting diverged structures such as panicolin, viscidulin I, viscidulin II and viscidulin III. Tracing the dynamic process of gene expression will help reveal the mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in S. viscidula, as well as the 4'-deoxyflavone biosynthesis in S. baicalensis. One way is to generate and analyze the expressed sequence tags (ESTs). However, little is known on the transcriptome information of S. viscidula, particularly the key genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis. In this study, we conducted de novo transcriptome analysis of S. viscidula and obtained 42,310,834 reads and 40,052 unigenes, respectively. We revealed 177 genes relating to flavonoid biosynthesis, where 23 key enzyme encoding genes including CHS, CHI, F3H, PAL and 4CL were annotated. Furthermore, we investigated the dynamic expression of CHS, CHI, F3H, MYB2, and bHLH of stem, root and leaf of S. viscidula in May, July and September. Our results showed that these key genes had important regulatory function and exhibited positive correlation with total flavonoid content in different growth stages of S. viscidula. Collectively, this study provides high-quality transcriptome data of S. viscidula, and further gives significant information for understanding the molecular mechanism of gene expression and active ingredients in Scutellaria plants.

Project description:Background: Hazy weather significantly increase air pollution and affect light intensity which may also affect medicinal plants growth. Syringa oblata Lindl. (S. oblata), an effective anti-biofilm medicinal plants, is also vulnerable to changes in plant photoperiods and other abiotic stress responses. Rutin, one of the flavonoids, is the main bioactive ingredient in S. oblata that inhibits Streptococcus suis biofilm formation. Thus, the present study aims to explore the biosynthesis and molecular basis of flavonoids in S. oblata in response to different light intensity. Results: In this study, it was shown that compared with natural (Z0) and 25% ~ 35% (Z2) light intensities, the rutin content of S. oblata under 50% ~ 60% (Z1) light intensity increased significantly. In addition, an integrated analysis of metabolome and transcriptome was performed using light intensity stress from two kinds of light intensities which S. oblata was subjected to: Z0 and Z1. The results revealed that differential metabolites and genes were mainly related to the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. We found out that 13 putative structural genes and a transcription factor bHLH were significantly up-regulated in Z1. Among them, integration analysis showed that 3 putative structural genes including 4CL1, CYP73A and CYP75B1 significantly up-regulated the rutin biosynthesis, suggesting that these putative genes may be involved in regulating the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, thereby making them key target genes in the whole metabolic process. Conclusions: The present study provided helpful information to search for the novel putative genes that are potential targets for S. oblata in response to light intensity.

Project description:Forming symbiotic associations with beneficial microbes are important strategies for sessile plants to acquire nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients from the soil. Root exudates play key roles on set-up of the rhizosphere microbiome. According to the needs for nitrogen or phosphorus, plants can adjust the root exudates composition to attract proper microbes. Flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites that are well studied in shaping the root microbiome, especially the root nodule symbiosis in legumes. Here, we show the medicago truncatula phosphate sensors SPX1 and SPX3 regulate flavonoids biosynthesis to recruit nitrogen-fixing microbes for nitrogen acquisition. Nitrogen-fixing microbes were less recruited in spx1spx3 double mutant root rhizosphere. This was caused by lower flavonoids biosynthesis related genes expression, which resulted in lower flavonoids levels in the root exudates compared to wild type plant R108. Further analysis indicates the regulation of flavonoids biosynthesis is through the SPX1 and SPX3 interaction transcription factor PHR2. We propose the SPX-PHR phosphate homeostasis regulation network also control microbe-dependent nitrogen acquisition according to phosphate levels. Thus, SPX1 and SPX3 play important roles to keep a microbe-dependent nitrogen and phosphorus absorption balance for optimal growth.

Project description:Dendrobium huoshanense C.Z. Tang et S.J. Cheng is a perennial epiphytic herb of family Orchidaceae, which main metabolites are polysaccharides, flavonoids, etc. Low temperature is the main environmental factor that limits the growth and development of plants, and even threatens the survival of plants. However, Changes that occur at the molecular level in response to low temperatures are poorly understood in D. huoshanense. To understand the molecular mechanism of cold tolerance, we performed transcriptomic analysis on two time points of 0 d (control group) and 7 d (cold stress group). A total of 37.63 Gb transcriptomic data were generated using the MGI 2000 platform. These reads were assembled into 170,754 transcripts, and 23,724 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained. Pathway analysis indicated that “flavonoid biosynthesis”, “anthocyanin biosynthesis”, “flavone and flavonol biosynthesis”, and “plant hormone signal transduction” might play a vital role in D. huoshanense responses to cold stress. Several important pathways genes such as genes encoding polysaccharides, flavonoid, and plant hormone-signaling transduction kinase were identified under cold stress. In addition, the contents of mannose and total flavonoids increased under cold stress. Twelve DEGs in polysaccharides, flavonoid, and hormone pathways were selected from transcriptome analysis for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) validation. Our results provide a transcriptome database and candidate genes for further study of D. huoshanense cold stress.

Project description:Erythrina velutina is widely used in traditional medicine, being a source of specialized metabolites with anti-inflammatory and central nervous system modulatory activities. To date, the specialized metabolic network of the genus Erythrina and its regulation are missing, in part due to the lack of genomic information. In an effort to fill this knowledge gap, leaves and seeds had their metabolic and proteomic profiles (LC/MS) analyzed and integrated with transcriptome (RNA-seq) data. These data sets were obtained from plants growing in their harsh natural habitat and examined with emphasis on differentially expressed transcripts, transcription factors, and genes putatively involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, the most abundant metabolite class annotated. Of the 96 metabolites distributed in different classes found in this study, 28 and 30 were exclusively found in seeds and leaves, respectively, whereas 38 metabolites occurred in both structures. It was possible to assemble a set of 17,822 transcripts, of which 3,937 transcripts were differentially expressed (2,815 down- and 1,122 up-regulated). Candidate transcripts involved in flavonoid accumulation and transcription factors amounted to 28 and 394, respectively. Expression patterns of transcripts involved in flavonoid biosynthesis and its regulation, as well as those involved in responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, are discussed in detail. Hopefully, these findings will provide a solid base to further the understanding of the molecular and metabolic responses in this important medicinal plant species, as well as identify key regulatory targets for future studies aiming at bioactive metabolite production.
