Apple SWATH-MS - Apple is one of the most popular fruit crops world-wide and its skin color is an important quality consideration essential for commercial value

ABSTRACT: Apple is one of the most popular fruit crops world-wide and its skin color is an important quality consideration essential for commercial value. However, the strategy on genetic breeding for red skin apple and the genetic basis of skin color differentiation is very limited and still largely unknown. Here, we reported a bud sport mutant of Fuji apple with red skin color and enhanced anthocyanins accumulation. Quantitative SWATH-MS (sequential window acquisition of all theoretical spectra-mass spectrometry) proteomics investigations revealed proteome changes in the apple red skin bud mutation and a total of 411 differentially expressed proteins were identified in apple skin. The mutant showed significantly increased expression levels of photosynthesis-related proteins, stress-related proteins as well as anthocyanins biosynthesis pathway. On the other hand, substanial downregulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase 4 (MAPK4) and mevalonate kinase (MVK) were detected. We also hypothesize that a post-transcriptional regulation of the skin color formation occurs in the mutant through the advanced SWATH-MS analysis. Overall, our work provide important information on the application of proteomic methods for analysing proteomes changes in Fuji apple and highlights a clade of regulatory proteins potentially contributed to the fruit skin color formation.

Project description:Pink-flowered strawberry is a new promising ornamental flower derived from intergeneric hybridization (Fragaria × Potentilla) with bright color, prolonged flowering period and edible fruits. However, the transcriptional events underlying anthocyanins biosynthesis pathway have not been fully characterized in its petal coloration. The pigment compounds accumulated in its fruits were the same as cultivated strawberry, but different from in its flowers. To gain insights into the regulatory networks related to anthocyanin biosynthesis and identify key genes, we performed an integrated analyses of the transcriptome and metabolomes involved in red petals at three development stages (Bud stage (L), Coloration beginning stage (Z) and Big bud stage (D)) of pink-flowered strawberry. Transcript and metabolite profiles were generated through high-throughput RNA-sequencing and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, respectively. The results showed that the main pigments of red and dark pink petals were anthocyanins, among which cyanidins were the main compounds. There were no anthocyanins detected in white-flowered hybrids. A total of 50 285 non-redundant unigenes were obtained from the transcriptome databases, among which 59 differentially expressed genes could be identified as putative homologues of flower coloration related genes. Based on a comprehensive analysis relating pigmentation compounds to gene expression profiles, the mechanism of flower color formation was examined in pink-flowered strawberry. Furthermore, a new hypothesis explaining the lack of color phenotype of the white-flowered strawberry hybrids from the level of the transcriptome. The expression patterns of FpDFR gene and FpANS gene corresponded to the accumulation patterns of cyanidin contents in pink-flowered strawberry hybrids with different shades of pink; Whereas other anthocyanin biosynthesis genes were weakly related flower color deepened. Moreover, FpANS, FpBZ1 and FpUGT75C1 genes were the key factors that lead to the inability to accumulate anthocyanins in the white petals of PFS hybrids. Meanwhile, the competitive effect of FpFLS gene and FpDFR gene may further inhibit anthocyanin synthesis. The data presented herein are important for understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the petal pigmentation and will be powerful for integrating into novel genes that are potential targets for breeding new valuable pink-flowered strawberry cultivars.
