摘要:

为挖掘全缘叶绿绒蒿黄色花形成的关键基因,探讨其花色形成在转录水平上的调控机制,选取全缘叶绿绒蒿 3 个花发育时期的花瓣组织进行转录组测序,并对盛花期花瓣组织的黄酮类化合物进行了绝对定量。结果表明:(1)LC-MS/MS 共检测到 38 种黄酮类化合物,其中以槲皮素及其衍生物为主,其含量超过黄酮类化合物总含量的 80%;(2)转录组测序共获得 171 902 条单基因,筛选后得到 14 906 个差异表达基因,这些差异基因在 48 条 KEGG 通路中显著富集(P<0.05),其中苯丙烷生物合成通路与类黄酮生物合成通路在 3 个花发育时期都显著富集(P<0.05);(3)同时还发现与黄酮类化合物合成相关的基因在 3 个花发育时期中差异表达,同一时期 MiFLSs(Cluster-28469.86、Cluster-28469.89、Cluster-28469.91)的表达量是 MiDFR(Cluster-49617.1)的 1.2~4.7 倍;与槲皮素衍生物合成相关的 MiFG3(Cluster-15071.0)呈现逐渐上调的表达趋势;转录因子 MiMYB4 表达量也逐渐上升,且与 MiMYB38、MiMYB39、MiDFR(Cluster-49617.1)和 MiANS(Cluster-29740.1)呈强负相关关系;(4)所选基因 qRT-PCR 结果与 RNA-seq 相关性较好(R2=0.820 4,P<0.05),表明转录组数据可靠。综上所述,全缘叶绿绒蒿黄色花瓣的主要成分可能是槲皮素及其衍生物;MiFLSs 相较于 MiDFR 更强的竞争力促使更多底物流向黄酮醇合成,为大量合成黄酮醇类化合物提供了前体物,MiFG3 消耗前体物促进槲皮素衍生物的大量合成;同时,转录因子 MiMYB4 可能通过抑制与花青素合成相关的结构基因和转录因子,间接促进底物流向黄酮醇合成,这些结构基因与转录因子共同调控全缘叶绿绒蒿的花色形成过程。研究筛选出了6个调控全缘叶绿绒蒿花色形成的关键基因,初步探讨了其黄色花形成的分子机制,为进一步研究全缘叶绿绒蒿花色变异提供了理论参考。

Abstract:

To find out the key genes of yellow flower formation in Meconopsis integrifolia and to study the regulatory mechanism of flower color formation at the transcriptional level, in this study, the petal tissues of M. integrifolia were selected for RNA sequencing at three flower developmental stages, and the absolute quantification of flavonoids in petal tissue were measured at blooming period. The results showed that: (1) A total of 38 flavonoids were detected in LC-MS/MS, among which quercetin and its derivatives were the main ones, and their content exceeded 80% of the total content of flavonoids. (2) A total of 171 902 Unigenes were obtained from RNA sequencing, and 14 906 DEGs were obtained after screening, which were significantly enriched in 48 KEGG pathways (P<0.05), among which the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis were significantly enriched in the three flower development stages (P<0.05). (3) At the same time, it was also found that genes related to flavonoid synthesis were expressed differently in the three flower development periods, and the expression of MiFLSs (Cluster-28469.86, Cluster-28469.89, Cluster-28469.91) was 1.2-4.7 times higher than that of MiDFR(Cluster-49617.1) in the same period. The expression of MiFG3 (Cluster-15071.0) related to the synthesis of quercetin derivatives showed a gradual up-regulation trend. The expression of transcription factor MiMYB4 also increased gradually, and it showed a strong negative correlation with MiMYB38, MiMYB39, MiDFR(Cluster-49617.1) and MiANS(Cluster-29740.1). (4) The qRT-PCR results of the selected genes correlated well with RNA-seq (R2=0.820 4, P<0.05), indicating that the transcriptome data was reliable. In summary, the main component of the yellow petals of M. integrifolia may be quercetin and its derivatives. The stronger competitiveness of MiFLSs compare with MiDFR drives more substrates toward flavonol synthesis, providing precursors for the bulk synthesis of flavonols, and MiFG3 consumption of precursors promotes the bulk synthesis of quercetin derivatives. Meanwhile, the transcription factor MiMYB4 may indirectly promote substrate flow toward flavonol synthesis by repressing structural genes and transcription factors associated with anthocyanin synthesis, which together with transcription factors regulate the process of flower color formation in M. integrifolia. In this study, 6 key genes regulating the flower color formation of M. integrifolia are screened, and the molecular mechanism of its yellow flower formation is preliminarily explored, which provides a theoretical reference for further research on the flower color variation of Meconopsis.
