Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen, an indigenous species in Hainan Island, China, had high economic and cultural values. Its sapwood was light yellow, while, heartwood was rich in colors of red, yellow, orange and black. The colorful oily deposits were found in the vessels, fibers and parenchyma cells of the heartwood. The contents of extractives, flavonoid and anthocyanin in heartwood were found to be 11.83%, 34.88 mg/g and 705.84 μg/g, 3.29 times, 12.37 times and 9.51 times higher than that of sapwood, respectively. More extractives, flavonoid, anthocyanin appeared in the transition zone in heartwood area position with abundant metabolites. Among them, flavonoids were 26.2%. The relative content of metabolites such as anthocyanins, chalcone, flavone and anthraquinone increased greatly in heartwood. The formation of red-yellow-orange mixed color of Dalbergia odorifera heartwood was related to these metabolites.

Project description:An Ac/Ds transposon tagged mutant population was screened for changes in visible fruit phenotypes. One line showed orange, yellow sectors in the fruit and was named Orange ripening (Orr), its transposase free offspring showed Mendelian segregation yielding red, yellow and orange fruit bearing plants in a ratio of 1:2:1. Crossing the an orange fruit plant line to the wild-type yielded only plants bearing yellow fruit. A cross between the yellow fruit bearing progeny yielded 26 plants having red and 17 plants having yellow fruit, suggesting an over-dominant allele. Using inverse PCR analysis showed an insertion in the putative subunit M of the tomato Ndh complex. Subsequently, an Orr Ds transposon excision line was recovered which only showed red pigmented fruit. Here, we describe microarray profiling of tomato fruits from wild-type, heterozygous and homozygous Orr insertion plants and from fruits harvested from the Orr excision line. Keywords: mutant wild type

Project description:Rubus chingii Hu, indigenous to China, is very rich in flavonoids. With the exception of anthocyanin, fruit flavonoids were much higher than most berries including other raspberry species, which partly contributed to its high phenolics and antioxidant capability. In contrast to other raspberries, anthocyanin and other flavonoids decreased as fruit matured. We investigated four typical phases of fruit maturation using transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. The results indicate that the down-regulation of phenylpropanoid, flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis are responsible for the metabolic decrease. The down-regulation of RcCHS (CL6140.Contig5) and RcCHI (Unigene14858 and Unigene22344) at gene and protein levels were associated with decreases of naringenin/naringenin chalcone respectively. Down-regulation of RcLAR (CL9527.Contig3) at gene and protein levels was consistent with decreases of afzelechin/epiafzelechin, catechin/epicatechin, and gallocatechin/epigallocatechin. However, multiple genes/proteins involved in the enzymatic pathways were divergent and differently regulated, e.g. Rc4CL genes/proteins were down-regulated while Rc4CL-like was maintained at constantly low levels.

Project description:Seed coat color in soybean (Glycine max) is determined by the accumulation of flavonoid-derived pigments. However, to date the molecular mechanisms driving natural variation remain poorly defined. This study integrated data from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with metabolite profiling via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to investigate genetic and metabolic differences between black and yellow seed coat soybean lines that share an identical genetic background. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that key anthocyanin biosynthesis genes, including flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H-3), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UF3GT), UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT79B6), and glutathione S-transferase (GSTF11), were more highly expressed in black seed coats, where we also observed increased anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin (PA) accumulation and antioxidant activity. In contrast, leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) was strongly expressed in yellow seed coats but did not correspond to PA levels, likely due to the specific expression of laccase (LAC5) in black seeds, which facilitates PA polymerization. Elevated expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes (i.e., CYP73A5, cinnamate 4-hydroxylase; CYP82C4) in yellow seed coats suggested activation of the isoflavone biosynthesis pathway. Further transcriptional profiling also indicated that black-seed-specific MYB transcription factors (i.e., MYB111, MYB113, and MYB17) promoted anthocyanin production. This study is the first to provide evidence that small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are implicated in the regulation of seed coat pigmentation and stress adaptation. Together, these findings elucidate the genetic and metabolic regulation of seed coat color in soybean and identify candidate genes relevant to functional breeding and genomics research.

Project description:Apple is a woody tree in the Rosaceae family, genus Apple. It has been widely reported that MYBs are critical regulators for red color of apple peel by activating the expression of anthocyanin biogenesis genes. However, it is still not clear what is the molecular mechanism for the yellow color of apple peel. In order to investigate key genes and metabolites responsible for yellow coloration of apple peel, three strains of apples, "Venus Gold (Ype)" with yellow peel, "Yanfu8 (Mpe)" with medium red peel, and "Red love" with dark red peel, were selected in this study. Transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles were obtained for the peels of the three apple strains, respectively. After analyzing the transcriptomic profiles, our results suggest that DFR and LAR1 are two critical genes for the yellow color of Ype peel. Analysis of metabolomic profiles revealed that the abundances of Catechin and Epicatechin in Ype peel was higher than that of Rpe, indicating an important reason for the yellow color of Ype peel. Furthermore, when comparing volatile metabolites from Ype, Mpe and Rpe, hundreds of volatile metabolites show significantly differently abundances, suggesting that apples with different peel colors have different odors. In summary, our results provide new insights into the yellow coloration for the peels of some apple cultivars.

Project description:Gene-to-gene coexpression analysis is a powerful approach to infer function of uncharacterized genes. To perform non-targeted coexpression analysis of tomato genes, we collected a developmental gene expression dataset using various tissues of tomato plant. Expression data are collected from 24 different tissue types including root, hypocotyl, cotyledon, leaf at different stages, and fruit tissues at 4 different ripening stages from 4 different Solanum lycopersicum cultivars. Fruits were separated to the flesh and the peel. These two tissue types indeed showed remarkably different gene expression profiles. We also collected data from 4 different ripening stages (mature green, yellow, orange, and red) to detail the changes during ripening. By using this gene expression dataset, we calculated pair-wise Pearsonâs correlation coefficients, and performed network-based coexpression analysis. The analysis generated a number of coexpression modules, some of which showed an enrichment of genes associated with specific functional categories. This result will be useful in inferring functions of uncharacterized tomato genes, and in prioritizing genes for further experimental analysis. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Tomato genome Arrays to detail the global gene expression change using 24 different tomato tissue types (67 hybridizations). We collected gene expression data from 24 different tomato tissue types using 67 hybridizations. Root, hypocotyl, cotyledon, and leaf were sampled from 3-week-old or 5-weekâold plant of Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Micro-Tom. Fruit tissues were sampled from S. lycopersicum cultivars Micro-Tom, Anthocyanin fruit (Aft, LA1996), Line27859, and Momotaro 8 (Takii, Japan). From Micro-Tom fruit, the peel and the flesh were separately sampled from 4 different ripening stages: mature green (MG, approximately 30 day after anthesis), yellow (Y, approximately 35 days after anthesis), orange (O, approximately 38-40 days after anthesis), and red (R, approximately 45-48 days after anthesis). From fruits of Aft and Line27859, the peel and the flesh were sampled at mature green (MG, approximately 40 days after anthesis) and red (R, approximately 50-55 days after anthesis) stages. From Momotaro 8, the peel and the flesh were sampled at red (R, 50- approximately 50-55 days after anthesis) stages. For each tissue type, 2-4 biological replicates were made in RNA preparation.

Project description:Petal is not only the target of selection by horticulturalists to enhance the ornamental value of plants but also emerged as a unique model system for plant organogenesis studies. It is known that three major groups of pigments, betalains, carotenoids and anthocyanins, are responsible for the attractive natural display of flower colors. While carotenoids and betalains generally yield yellow or red colors, anthocyanins confer a diverse range of color from orange to red to violet and blue. In this study, we collected 11 species (Erysimum cheiri, Malcolmia maritime, Brassica oleracea, Raphanus sativus, Orychophragmus violaceus, Eruca sativa, Orychophragmus violaceus, Iberis amara, Aubrieta x cultorum, Lobularia maritime, Matthiola incana) belong to different tribe in Brassicaceae family with varied flower color and performed petal transcriptome analysis. de novo transcriptome assembly showed that average length of the contigs varied from 631bp in O. violaceus to 1212bp in Matthiola incana which indicated that the complexity of the genomes are different much. Protein homology between these species and those sequenced species in Brassicaceae family are consistent with the known phylogenetic relationships. However, O. violaceus has closer relationships with Sisymbrium irio than expected Brassica species. Clustering analysis of genes in anthocyanin and carotenoids synthesis pathway indicated that while silence or low expression of CCD4 (Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase 4) leading to the yellow color formation in different species, purple or red color variation might result from different genes expression variation. These results not only provide transcriptome data for petal development study but also provide useful information for Brassica flower improvement for ornamental purpose.

Project description:The Sex-linked orange mutation in domestic cats causes variegated patches of reddish/yellow hair and is a defining signature of random X-inactivation in female tortoiseshell and calico cats. Unlike the situation for most coat color genes, there is no apparent homolog for Sex-linked orange in other mammals. We show that Sex-linked orange is caused by a 5 kb deletion that leads to ectopic and melanocyte-specific expression of the Rho GTPase Activating Protein 36 (Arhgap36) gene. Single cell RNA-seq studies from fetal cat skin reveal that red/yellow hair color is caused by reduced expression of melanogenic genes that are normally activated by the Melanocortin 1 receptor (Mc1r)—cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)—protein kinase A (PKA) pathway, but Mc1r and its ability to stimulate cAMP accumulation is intact. Instead, we show that expression of Arhgap36 in melanocytes leads to reduced levels of the PKA catalytic subunit (PKAC); thus, Sex-linked orange is genetically and biochemically downstream of Mc1r. Our findings resolve a longstanding comparative genetic puzzle, provide in vivo evidence for the ability of Arhgap36 to inhibit PKA, and reveal a molecular explanation for a charismatic color pattern with a rich genetic history.

Project description:Background: Anthocyanins are the most important compounds for nutritional quality and economic values of blood orange. However, there are few reports on the pre-harvest treatment accelerate the accumulation of anthocyanins in postharvest blood orange fruit. Here, we performed a comparative Transcriptome and metabolomics analysis to elucidate the underlying mechanism involved in seasonal drought (SD) treatment during fruit expansion stage on anthocyanin accumulation in postharvest ‘Tarocco’ blood orange fruit. Results: Our results showed that SD treatment slowed down the fruit enlargement and increased the sugar accumulation during fruit development and matured period. Obviously, under SD treatment, the accumulation of anthocyanin in blood orange fruit during postharvest storage was significantly accelerated and markedly higher than that in CK. Meanwhile, the total flavonoids and phenols contents and antioxidant activity in SD treatment fruit were also sensibly increased during postharvest storage. Based on metabolome, we found that substrates required for anthocyanin biosynthesis, such as amino acids and their derivatives, and phenolic acids, have significantly accumulated and higher in SD treated mature fruit compared with that of CK. Further according to the results of transcriptome data and weighted gene coexpression correlation network analysis (WGCNA) analysis, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL3) was considered key structural gene. qRT-PCR analysis verified that the PAL3 was highly expressed in SD treated postharvest stored fruit and was significantly positively correlated with the anthocyanin content. Moreover, we found that other structural genes in anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway were also upregulated under SD treatment through transcriptome data and qRT-PCR analysis. Conclusions: The findings suggest that SD treatment promotes the accumulation of substrates necessary for anthocyanin biosynthesis during fruit ripening process, and activates the expression of anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway genes during postharvest storage period, especially PAL3, co-contributed to the rapid accumulation of anthocyanin. The present study provides a theoretical basis for postharvest quality control and water-saving utilization of blood orange fruit.
