Project description:Chimonocalamus is the only bamboo species known to secrete aromatic oils. The species is named after the distinctive aromatic oil found within the cavity of its bamboo stem. This study employed sensory analysis, headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), and transcriptome sequencing to investigate the volatile component composition and formation mechanisms in Chimonocalamus delicatus, an endemic bamboo species of Yunnan Province. The bamboo samples analyzed included stems at different stem ages, as well as various parts. The aroma components of Chimonocalamus delicatus primarily consist of sesquiterpenes, including Humulene and Caryophyllene, which are terpenoid compounds. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed significant differences in the volatile compounds across various stem ages and plant parts. This may constitute a key source of the characteristic aroma of Chimonocalamus delicatus at different stem ages and plant parts. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the aroma of Chimonocalamus delicatus was predominantly enriched in the secondary metabolite pathways, including the MVA and MEP pathways. The enzyme activities of key enzymes in its metabolic pathway were also determined. A comprehensive analysis of differential aroma metabolites and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in Chimonocalamus delicatus led to the identification of key genes (DXR, FPS, TPS6, TPS7) involved in the regulation of aroma compound biosynthesis. In this study, the volatile components and regulatory network of Chimonocalamus delicatus essential oil were analyzed, which provided a solid theoretical basis for the development of bioactive compounds in Chimonocalamus delicatus.
Project description:Monoterpenes are typical aroma components of muscat grape cultivars. However, the molecular mechanism of monoterpene biosynthesis between muscat and non-muscat grape remains unclear. In this study, two F1 hybrids with different aroma profiles from the cross between 'Midknight Beauty' and 'Red Globe' grapes were chosen for comprehensive transcriptome and metabolome analysis to study the unique monoterpenoid accumulation pattern and related candidate genes. The results showed that in the hybrid progeny, the concentrations of most terpenoids differed at different times, and the concentration of most terpenoids increased from the pre-veraison to veraison, followed by a decreasing trend from veraison to maturity. In the F1 generation, the concentration of monoterpenes accumulated in Muscat grapes was significantly higher than that in Neutral grapes. Furthermore, linalool，α-terpineol, and L-α-terpineol may be important odorants that affect the floral characteristics of Muscat grapes because of their high odor activity values (OAVs). Transcriptional analysis identified 3 VvDXS (LOC100249323, LOC100268079, LOC100247834), 1 VvHDS (LOC100257071), 1 VvMVK (LOC100251148), 1 VvHMGR (LOC100265082), and 1 VvGGPPS (LOC100257234) in the MEP and MVA pathways. Meanwhile, 11 TPS genes that may be involved in the regulation of monoterpenes were identified. Among them, VvTPS (LOC100853562) showed consistency with the accumulation of monoterpenes and had a high expression level， MYB (LOC100255488), GATA (LOC100262474), and ERF (LOC100255943, LOC100260401) were selected as candidate transcription factors (TFs). The findings provide new insights for the subsequent functional validation and further investigation of genes related to monoterpene synthesis in Muscat aroma grapes.

Project description:In order to know more about the expression levels of aroma-related genes involved in the metabolic pathways, transcriptome sequencing of Granny Smith and Jonagold apples was conducted utilizing the Illumina platform. Our study provides new insights on the understanding of transcriptional regulatory mechanisms associated with aroma volatiles formation in apples.
Project description:Petunia floral scent production and emission is highly regulated, with a major role for the transcription factor ODORANT1 (ODO1) in directing activation of volatile biosynthesis. Using ChIP-seq of tagged ODO1 protein from petunia flowers, and RNA-seq of wild-type and odo1i RNAi flowers, the ODORANT1-regulated gene network of petunia is described, which extends to branches involved in phenylpropanoid intermediate production and S-adenosyl-methionine biosynthesis to potentiate production and emission of volatiles. Analysis of direct targets of regulation has also enabled the identification of an ODO1 binding motif.
Project description:To study the floral volatile compounds of standard Malus robusta flowers (Mr), and its progeny with strongly and weakly fragrant flowers
Project description:To uncover a suit of genes related to the consumer preferred flavours, whole RNA sequencing followed by de novo genome assembly was performed on extreme flavoured papaya varieties RB1 (preferred with sweet flavour and floral aroma) and 1B (non-preferred with bitter flavour and musty aroma) fruits at ripe and unripe stages. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 2 different papaya varieties at ripe and unripe stages.
