Abstract:

In order to explore the differences between Dioscorea polystachya Turczaninow. cv. Guangfeng Qianjin (QJS) and D. polystachya Turczaninow. cv. Tiegun (TGSY) at molecular level, the transcriptome analysis was carried out on the microtubers of plantlets of QJS and TGSY. The results showed that correlation coefficient between QJS group and TGSY group was 0.42. The logarithm of expression FPKM in QJS group and TGSY group was between 0-1.5 and the expression density was between 0-1.0. Compared with TGSY group, 4 765 genes were down regulated and 5 112 genes were up regulated in QJS group. The number of common genes expressed in QJS group and TGSY group was 25 207, the number of genes expressed alone in QJS group was 5 261, and the number of genes expressed alone in TGSY group was 3 571. A total of 611 498 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci and 12 056 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were found in QJS group and TGSY group. Compared with TGSY group, genes of starch synthase 3, alpha-amylase 3, beta-amylase, flavonoid 3'-monooxygenas, flavonoid 3'-hydroxylas and anthocyanin synthase were up-regulated, while genes of granule-bound starch synthase, sucrose synthase 1, expansin 2 and phenylalanine ammonia lyase were down regulated. This might be the internal reason why D. polystachya Turczaninow. cv. Guangfeng Qianjin microtuber was tender, soft, waxy and refreshing, stress defense and easy to swell after eating. The results of this study would provide reference for variety identification and molecular breeding of D. polystachya Turczaninow. cv. Guangfeng Qianjin.

Key words: D. polystachya Turczaninow. cv. Guangfeng Qianjin, D. polystachya Turczaninow. cv. Tiegun, virus-free, microtuber, transcriptome analysis
