外源ABA和GA3对红肉脐橙果皮色素含量的影响

测定红肉脐橙果实发育期间和果实转色期间施用外源ABA和GA3的果皮中叶绿素和总类胡萝卜素含量变化的结果表明:红肉脐橙果皮中叶绿素总量于9月20日出现最大值,为0.1469 mg·g-1(FW);类胡萝卜素总量于12月21日达到最大值,为0.0321 mg·g-1(FW);转色期用外源ABA处理后果皮叶绿素降解加速,而类胡萝卜素积累受抑;转色期施用GA3并不能延缓果皮叶绿素的降解,但能抑制类胡萝卜素的积累,因而阻碍了果皮类胡萝卜素的合成.     

外源ABA和GA3对红肉脐橙果皮主要色素含量变化和果实着色的影响

测定了红肉脐橙(Citrus sinensis Osbeskcv.CaraCara)果实发育期间和果实转色前用不同浓度的外源ABA和GA₃处理后果皮叶绿素和类胡萝卜素的动态含量,并测定了外源ABA和GA₃处理后成熟红肉脐橙果皮色泽的表现。结果表明:红肉脐橙果皮叶绿素含量于9月20日出现最大值,为0.1469mg·g^-1FW;类胡萝卜素含量于12月20日达到最大值,为0.0321mg·g^-1FW;果实转色前,用外源ABA处理后加速了果皮叶绿素的降解,但也抑制了果皮类胡萝卜素的积累,用GA₃处理后延缓了果皮叶绿素的降解,同样抑制了果皮类胡萝卜素的积累,严重阻碍了果皮类胡萝卜素的合成;外源ABA或GA₃处理均不利于果实色泽品质的提高。     

外源ABA和GA3对红肉脐橙果皮主要色素含量变化的影响

测定了红肉脐橙果实发育期间果皮叶绿素和总类胡萝卜素含量的变化动态,并在果实转色前用不同浓度的外源ABA和GA₃处理后测定果皮色素含量的变化动态。结果表明,红肉脐橙果皮叶绿素总量于9月20日出现最大值(0.1469mg/gfw),总类胡萝卜素含量于12月20日达到最大值(0.0321mg/gfw);转色前用ABA处理后加速果皮叶绿素的降解,但抑制果皮类胡萝卜素的积累;转色前用GA₃处理后延缓果皮叶绿素的降解,并同样抑制果皮类胡萝卜素的积累,严重阻碍了果皮类胡萝卜素的合成。     

外源GA3和ABA对红肉脐橙果实品质的影响

以生长一致的红肉脐橙成年植株为试材,研究了果实转色前外源GA₃和ABA处理对果实品质的影响。结果表明,外源GA₃处理提高了果皮亮度,但降低了果皮红色度、黄色度和单果重;ABA处理提高了果皮红色度,但降低了果皮亮度;GA₃100mg/L处理虽然极显著降低了果皮厚度,极显著提高了果皮亮度、可溶性固形物和VitC含量,但同时极显著降低了果皮红色度、糖酸比,并极显著提高了果实含酸量;外源ABA处理还极显著降低了果实可食率、出汁率和VitC含量。因此,在果实转色前用外源GA₃和ABA处理红肉脐橙果实均不利于其综合品质的提高。     

外源脱落酸和赤霉素对红肉脐橙果肉糖含量的影响

在红肉脐橙幼果期和着色前分2次喷施不同浓度的外源ABA和GA3,研究其对红肉脐橙果肉糖含量的影响.结果表明:10mg.L-1ABA处理显著或极显著提高了果实成熟时的葡萄糖、果糖和总糖含量,50mg.L-1ABA处理极显著提高了果实蔗糖含量,而100mg.L-1ABA处理极显著降低了果实葡萄糖含量;中低浓度的GA3(10、50和250mg.L-1)极显著提高了果实蔗糖含量,10mg.L-1GA3处理对果实葡萄糖和果糖含量无明显影响,但极显著提高了果实总糖含量,50、250和500mg.L-1GA3处理极显著降低了果实葡萄糖、果糖和总糖含量.表明着色前较低浓度的外源ABA处理(10和50mg.L-1)可提高果实中一种或几种糖的含量,而较高浓度的GA3处理(250和500mg.L-1)则严重阻碍了果肉中糖的积累.     

光照对柑橘果皮类胡萝卜素和色泽形成的影响

以“红柿柑”为试材,在柑橘果实膨大末期通过套袋遮光处理以抑制果皮光合作用,研究光照对果皮糖、叶绿素、类胡萝卜素及果实外观色泽的影响。结果表明,遮光后果皮叶绿素含量迅速下降引起果实转色提早,但各种类胡萝卜素含量及总量并未提高,而是显著下降;至果实成熟时由于遮光与光照处理的果皮叶绿素均消失,遮光果实类胡萝卜素含量低颜色变淡,与光照处理相比,遮光前期果皮糖含量下降不大,而后期下降明显;若在后期去袋照光,果皮糖含量上升,与此相应,类胡萝卜素,尤其是β-隐黄质的积累增加,颜色加深,表明光对果皮类胡萝卜素合成尤其是β-隐黄质的积累有促进作用,其原因是光以环境信号的方式影响果皮的类胡萝卜素形成。

脐橙晚熟突变体"奉晚"与原品种"奉节72-1"的果实着色差异

测定了果实成熟过程中“奉晚”和“奉节72．1”两个脐橙（Citrus sinensis L．Osbeck）品种果皮中叶绿素和总类胡萝卜素的含量,并采用RT-PCR技术研究了相关酶的基因表达。结果表明：“奉晚”脐橙果皮中叶绿素含量的显著降低发生在11月份,“奉节72．1”则发生存10月中下旬到11月上旬;“奉晚”脐橙果皮中的总类胡萝卜素含量显著积累始于12月中旬,而“奉节72.1”品种则始于11月初。另外,“奉晚”脐橙果皮中叶绿素含量在10～11月显著高于原品种,总类胡萝卜素含量在12-1月显著低于原品种。从基因表达分析结果看到,“奉晚”脐橙果皮中与类胡萝卜素合成酶相关的基因较强表达的时间也整体迟于“奉节72．1”脐橙;叶绿素水解酶基因表达在10～12月中旬表达较“奉节72—1”弱,翌年1月份则较“奉节72．1”强。     

几种化学试剂及套袋对红肉脐橙果实品质的影响

在红肉脐橙成年树幼果期喷布NaCl、MnSO₄、NaH₂PO₄和GA₃处理,于第2次生理落果基本结束后对果实套袋。结果表明,①外观品质:GA₃处理提高了果形指数,套袋后并于果实着色前拆袋或不拆袋均极显著提高了果皮的亮度和黄色度,但套袋后不拆袋也极显著降低了果皮红色度和单果重;②内在品质:NaH₂PO₄处理虽显著提高了可溶性固形物含量,但其和GA₃处理均提高了果实酸含量并降低了糖酸比;套袋并拆袋和MnSO₄处理极显著提高了可溶性总糖含量;套袋并拆袋和NaH₂PO₄处理还显著提高了果实VitC含量。因此,MnSO₄处理和套袋并于果实着色前拆袋有利于红肉脐橙果实综合品质的提高。     

Construction and Characterization of a cDNA Library from the Pulp of Cara Cara Navel Orange （Citrus sinensis Osbeck）

A cDNA library was constructed end characterized from the pulp of Cera Care navel orange （Citrus sinensis Osbeck） at different stages of ripening. Tittering results revealed that approximately 5.086×10^5 independent clones were included in this library. Electrophoresls gel results of 15 randomly selected clones revealed that the size of the insertion fragments ranged from 400 bp to 2 kb, with an average size of 900 bp. Sequencing results of 150 randomly picked clones showed that the recombination rate was 94%. During subsequent sequence analysis, 41 of 139 clones failed to be identified end the amino sequence of 71 clones shared less than 30% identity with related plants in GenBank. Of 27 clones whose amino sequences shared more than 60% identity with other related plants in GenBenk, 17 clones showed an 80% identity with the corresponding candidate genes of citrus. The clone recognized as the type Ⅲ metallothlonein-llke （MT） gene was observed to occur 13 tlmes, Indlcatlng that the protein may play an important role In frult development and rlpenlng.

Regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis during fruit maturation in the red-fleshed orange mutant Cara Cara

Cara Cara is a spontaneous bud mutation of Navel orange (Citrus. sinensis L. Osbeck) characterized by developing fruits with a pulp of bright red coloration due to the presence of lycopene. Peel of mutant fruits is however orange and indistinguishable from its parental. To elucidate the basis of lycopene accumulation in Cara Cara, we analyzed carotenoid profile and expression of three isoprenoid and nine carotenoid genes in flavedo and pulp of Cara Cara and Navel fruits throughout development and maturation. The pulp of the mutant accumulated high amounts of lycopene, but also phytoene and phytofluene, from early developmental stages. The peel of Cara Cara also accumulated phytoene and phytofluene. The expression of isoprenoid genes and of carotenoid biosynthetic genes downstream PDS (phytoene desaturase) was higher in the pulp of Cara Cara than in Navel. Not important differences in the expression of these genes were observed between the peel of both oranges. Moreover, the content of the plant hormone ABA (abscisic acid) was lower in the pulp of Cara Cara, but the expression of two genes involved in its biosynthesis was higher. The results suggest that an altered carotenoid composition may conduct to a positive feedback regulatory mechanism of carotenoid biosynthesis in citrus fruits. Increased levels of isoprenoid precursors in the mutant that could be channeled to carotenoid biosynthesis may be related to the red-fleshed phenotype of Cara Cara.     

Expression of phytoene synthase gene (Psy) is enhanced during fruit ripening of Cara Cara navel orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck)

Citrus is an important fruit crop as regards accumulation of carotenoids. In plant carotenoid biosynthesis, phytoene synthase gene (Psy) plays a key role in catalyzing the head-to-head condensation of geranylgeranyl diphosphate molecules to produce colorless phytoene. In the present paper, we reported the phytoene contents determination and characterization of Psy during fruit ripening of “Washington” navel orange and its red-fleshed mutant “Cara Cara”. Results showed that phytoene was exclusively accumulated in peel and pulp of “Cara Cara”. Although phytoene was observed accumulating with fruit ripening of “Cara Cara”, the contents in pulp were 10 times higher than those in peel. The isolated two Psy cDNAs were both 1520 bp in full length, containing 436 deduced amino acid residues, with a different amino acid at 412th. Genomic hybridization results showed that one or two copies might be present in “Cara Cara” and “Washington” genomes. During “Cara Cara” and “Washington” fruit coloration, expression of Psy was observed to be up-regulated, as revealed by tissue specific profiles in the flavedo, albedo, segment membrane and juice sacs. However, Psy expression in albedo of “Cara Cara” was higher than that in “Washington”, as evidenced by phytoene accumulation in the peel.
