猕猴桃间座壳菌Diaporthe actinidiae的绿色荧光蛋白基因标记及侵染过程

果实软腐病是猕猴桃贮藏期间最严重的真菌病害,猕猴桃间座壳Diaporthe actinidiae是该病检出率最高且致病力最强的病原菌。该病菌从花前期开始侵染,至果实贮藏期才表现症状,侵染至发病周期较长,可借助荧光标记对其侵染过程进行研究。本研究采用PEG介导原生质体转化的技术,运用携带GFP及潮霉素抗性基因的双元载体pCAMBgfp对D. actinidiae菌株进行遗传转化。首先,对转化子进行潮霉素及绿色荧光筛选,随后进行菌落的生物学特征观察、荧光稳定性验证及致病力检测,最终得到3株菌丝形态、生长速度及致病力与野生型菌株一致的稳定荧光菌株。将KFDA-17转化子接种于贮藏期猕猴桃果实‘金梅’,1 d后果实出现水渍症状,随后出现软腐症状且逐步加重;发病部分菌丝体在荧光显微镜下呈现明显的绿色荧光,可清晰观察侵染进程。本研究成功构建了PEG介导的间座壳菌丝体的原生质体遗传转化体系,且KFDA-17荧光菌株可用于侵染过程研究。     

猕猴桃果实采后成熟过程中糖代谢及其调节

20℃下采后猕猴桃果实中淀粉酶活性快速上升于果实软化启动阶段,随着果实进入快速软化阶段,淀粉迅速水解,葡萄糖和果糖快速积累,SPS活性增加,酸性转化酶活性下降,蔗糖积累;至果实软化后期,SPS活性降低,蔗糖含量下降.AsA和低温可抑制淀粉酶活性、己糖积累、SPS活性上升和酸性转化酶活性下降,延缓蔗糖积累,相反,乙烯则可促进淀粉酶活性,加速淀粉降解和己糖积累进而直接或间接增加SPS活性,促使蔗糖积累.采后猕猴桃果实的SPS活性变化中有己糖激活效应和蔗糖反馈抑制效应.AsA、低温和乙烯等对糖代谢的调节主要是通过对SPS活性的影响而实现的.     

Manipulation of flavour and aroma compound sequestration and release using a glycosyltransferase with specificity for terpene alcohols

Glycosides are an important potential source of aroma and flavour compounds for release as volatiles in flowers and fruit. The production of glycosides is catalysed by UDP‐glycosyltransferases (UGTs) that mediate the transfer of an activated nucleotide sugar to acceptor aglycones. A screen of UGTs expressed in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) identified the gene AdGT4 which was highly expressed in floral tissues and whose expression increased during fruit ripening. Recombinant AdGT4 enzyme glycosylated a range of terpenes and primary alcohols found as glycosides in ripe kiwifruit. Two of the enzyme's preferred alcohol aglycones, hexanol and (Z)‐hex‐3‐enol, contribute strongly to the ‘grassy‐green’ aroma notes of ripe kiwifruit and other fruit including tomato and olive. Transient over‐expression of AdGT4 in tobacco leaves showed that enzyme was able to glycosylate geraniol and octan‐3‐ol in planta whilst transient expression of an RNAi construct in Actinidia eriantha fruit reduced accumulation of a range of terpene glycosides. Stable over‐expression of AdGT4 in transgenic petunia resulted in increased sequestration of hexanol and other alcohols in the flowers. Transgenic tomato fruit stably over‐expressing AdGT4 showed changes in both the sequestration and release of a range of alcohols including 3‐methylbutanol, hexanol and geraniol. Sequestration occurred at all stages of fruit ripening. Ripe fruit sequestering high levels of glycosides were identified as having a less intense, earthier aroma in a sensory trial. These results demonstrate the importance of UGTs in sequestering key volatile compounds in planta and suggest a future approach to enhancing aromas and flavours in flowers and during fruit ripening.

Carbon starvation reduces carbohydrate and anthocyanin accumulation in red-fleshed fruit via trehalose 6-phosphate and MYB27

Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) is a recently domesticated fruit crop with several novel-coloured cultivars being developed. Achieving uniform fruit flesh pigmentation in red genotypes is challenging. To investigate the cause of colour variation between fruits, we focused on a red-fleshed Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis genotype. It was hypothesized that carbohydrate supply could be responsible for this variation. Early in fruit development, we imposed high or low (carbon starvation) carbohydrate supplies treatments; carbohydrate import or redistribution was controlled by applying a girdle at the shoot base. Carbon starvation affected fruit development as well as anthocyanin and carbohydrate metabolite concentrations, including the signalling molecule trehalose 6-phosphate. RNA-Seq analysis showed down-regulation of both gene-encoding enzymes in the anthocyanin and carbohydrate biosynthetic pathways. The catalytic trehalose 6-phosphate synthase gene TPS1.1a was down-regulated, whereas putative regulatory TPS7 and TPS11 were strongly up-regulated. Unexpectedly, under carbon starvation MYB10, the anthocyanin pathway regulatory activator was slightly up-regulated, whereas MYB27 was also up-regulated and acts as a repressor. To link these two metabolic pathways, we propose a model where trehalose 6-phosphate and the active repressor MYB27 are involved in sensing the carbon starvation status. This signals the plant to save resources and reduce the production of anthocyanin in fruits.     

限气贮藏猕猴桃果实伤害产生机制的研究

采用ＰＥ袋方法于常温一藏秦猕猴桃,贮藏期间袋内ＣＯ２浓度高于６％时果实会产生伤害贮藏前期,果实的果肉和果心硬度均很高,这与两部位淀粉酶和多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性严重被抑制淀粉和果胶物质水解被抑制有关。贮藏中期,果肉出现水浸状,到贮藏末期,果心和照相机人均很快腐烂,这主要与Ｖｃ含量明显降低,导致膜脂过氧化加剧有关。而与ＳＯＤ活性变化关系不大。而贮藏期间,果心硬度明显高于果肉,这与果心淀粉酶和多聚半乳醛酸

Bis(guanylhydrazones) negatively affect in vitro germination of kiwifruit pollen and alter the endogenous polyamine pool

Bis(guanylhydrazones) are a class of compounds known to interfere with the metabolism of polyamines (PAs). Among them, the methylglyoxal derivative (MGBG) has been studied most thoroughly. Because PAs and their biosynthetic enzymes are strongly involved in pollen tube organization, emergence and elongation, a number of these inhibitors have been studied in the present work for their effects on the in vitro performance of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) pollen. Increasing concentrations of several bis(guanylhydrazones) in the range 0.05-1 mM were checked for their effect on pollen germination. Most of the compounds tested showed a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on tube emergence, which was established very early during incubation. At 0.5 mM, the methylpropylglyoxal derivative (MPGBG) had a stronger inhibitory effect than MGBG. To verify whether the inhibitors reached their metabolic target, PA levels and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC) activity were determined in pollen germinated in the presence or absence (controls) of 0.5 mM bis(guanylhydrazones). Spermidine (Spd) content was significantly reduced in the treated pollen, and this effect was more pronounced after treatment with MGBG than with MPGBG. An early and strong reduction in SAMDC activity was observed after exposure to either inhibitor. Inhibition of pollen germination by MGBG or MPGBG could not be reversed by the addition of exogenous Spd, which per se was inhibitory. Taken together, our results suggest that bis(guanylhydrazones) alter PA metabolism and negatively affect kiwifruit pollen germination, even though a strict cause-effect relationship could not be established, and other mechanisms, unrelated to PA activity, must be involved.
