A chromosome-level genome assembly for Chinese plum‘Wushancuili'reveals the molecular basis of its fruit color and susceptibility to rain-cracking

Chinese plum(Prunus salicina Lindl.)originates from China and makes a large contribution to the global production of plums.The P.salicina‘Wushancuili'has a green coloration and high fruit quality and is economically important in eliminating poverty and protecting ecology in the Yangtze River Three Gorges Reservoir.However,rain-induced cracking(rain-cracking,literally skin cracking caused by rain)is a limitation to‘Wushancuili'fruit production and causes severe losses.This study reported a high-quality‘Wushancuili'genome assembly consisting of a 302.17-Mb sequence with eight pseudo-chromosomes and a contig N50 of 23.59 Mb through the combination of Illumina sequencing,Pacific Biosciences HiFiⅢsequencing,and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture technology.A total of 25109 protein-coding genes are predicted and 54.17%of the genome is composed of repetitive sequences.‘Wushancuili'underwent a remarkable orthoselection during evolution.Gene identification revealed that loss-of-function in four core MYB10 genes results in the anthocyanin deficiency and absence of red color,revealing the green coloration due to the residual high chlorophyll in fruit skin.Besides,the occurrence of cracking is assumed to be closely associated with cell wall modification and frequently rain-induced pathogen enrichment through transcriptomic analysis.The loss of MYB10 genes might render fruit more susceptible to pathogen-mediated cracking by weakening the epidermal strength and reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenging.Our findings provided fundamental knowledge regarding fruit coloration and rain-cracking and will facilitate genetic improvement and cultivation management in Chinese plums.

Transcriptome and metabolome analysis of preharvest internal browning in Nane plum fruit caused by high temperature

The preharvest internal browning of Nane plum fruit,with no visible effects on the appearance of the fruit,has become a serious problem in recent years in its production area in Guangdong Province,China.This study investigated the effects of environmental factors,including temperature,on Nane plum internal browning.Plum orchards at different elevations with different incidences of internal browning were selected.Using fruits with different internal browning incidence levels,the internal browning mechanism was analyzed with transcriptome and metabolome analyses.The results revealed decreased internal browning at high altitudes.Shading treatment significantly reduced internal browning,whereas bagging and insect-proof net-covering treatments significantly increased internal browning.Because bagging and net coverings increase the local ambient temperature,the findings suggest that high temperature is an important factor influencing the internal browning of Nane plum.The metabolome experiments showed that with increased internal browning,the levels of phenolic hydroxyls such as catechol increased,with simultaneous increases in hydrogen peroxide content and oxidase activity.It can be speculated that the oxidation of phenolic hydroxyl substances is the main cause of the preharvest browning of Nane plum.Transcriptome analysis revealed the increased expression of calcium signaling-related and downstream effector genes and indicated an important role of calcium in internal browning,possibly due to its increased content in the fruit.Further,with increasingly serious internal browning,genes related to photosynthesis were down-regulated,while genes related to senescence were up-regulated,thus suggesting the up-regulation of the process of cell senescence during internal browning.In conclusion,heat stress should be eliminated to reduce preharvest internal browning in Nane plum.

Acute Toxicity of Jinchuan Formula Plum Wine Extract and Its Protective Effect on Mice with Liver Injury

[Objectives]To investigate the acute toxicity and hepatoprotective effect of Jinchuan formula plum wine extract on mice,determine its safety range,and evaluate its hepatoprotective effect.[Methods]The median lethal dose(LD_(50))was determined by acute toxicity test with the toxic reaction and mortality of mice as indexes.Sixty Kunming mice were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal control group,model group(ConA-induced liver injury model),Jinchuan formula plum wine high,medium and low dose groups(1.0,0.5,0.25 g/kg)and silybin group(0.1 g/kg).The levels of ALT,AST,LDH in serum and TG,VLDL in liver were measured.After HE staining,the pathological changes of liver tissue in mice were observed,and the liver protective effect of Jinchuan formula plum wine extract was analyzed and evaluated.[Results]LD_(50)was 11.18 g/kg,and the 95%confidence limit of LD_(50)was 10.31-12.05 g/kg.The high-dose group of Jinchuan formula plum wine extract could significantly reduce the serum ALT and AST activities of ConA-induced liver injury mice(P<0.05).[Conclusions]Jinchuan formula plum wine extract is relatively safe,and also has a protective effect on liver injury.

Analysis of Subcellular Localization and Pathogenicity of Plum Bark Necrosis Stem-Pitting Associated Virus Protein P6

Infection of plum bark necrosis stem pitting associated virus(PBNSPaV)has been reported in many Prunus species in several countries,causing significant economic losses.The very small proteins encoded by plant viruses are often overlooked due to their short sequences and uncertain significance.However,numerous studies have indicated that they might play important roles in the pathogenesis of virus infection.The role of small hydrophobic protein P6,encoded by the open reading frame 2 of PBNSPaV,has not been well explored.In this study,we amplified the P6 fragment from a PBNSPaV isolate by RT-PCR using specific primers and found that it is 174 bp long and encodes a protein of approximately 6.3 kD with a transmembrane domain.Subcellular localization analysis of P6 proteins in tobacco leaves showed that P6 localizes to the cytomembrane and nuclear membrane.To further clarify the pathogenicity of P6 proteins,we constructed a PVX-P6 expression vector by inserting the p6 fragment into a potato virus X(PVX)-based vector and transformed it into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101.Infiltration of Nicotiana benthamiana(N.benthamiana)with the PVX vector-transformed A.tumefaciens led to slight mosaic symptoms at 14 days of post-inoculation.Meanwhile,infiltration with the PVX-P6 vector-transformed A.tumefaciens resulted in no significant symptoms.These results demonstrated that heterologous expression of P6 in N.benthamiana could not enhance the pathogenicity of PVX.Our study indicates that P6 may not be a potential pathogenic factor associate with the causing of symptoms,and the mode of action of PBNSPaV-P6 protein remains to be further studied.

表层蜡质结构及去蜡处理对李果实贮藏性的影响

【目的】蜡质是植物表层重要的防御和保护层,探究不同李品种果实表层蜡质结构的差异及蜡质的去留对果实贮藏性的影响。【方法】选择福建主栽的两个李品种芙蓉李及油?为试验材料,通过扫描电镜观察成熟果实表层蜡质结构的差异,设置4℃、25℃两个贮藏温度,试验保留蜡质和去蜡处理对果实贮藏性的影响。【结果】两种李的果皮蜡质结构均以直立片状晶体和颗粒状晶体为主,其中芙蓉李的直立片状晶体更厚,而油?的直立片状晶体边缘更规则、颗粒状晶体排列更紧密。芙蓉李和油?在4℃下贮藏35d,在25℃下分别贮藏12 d、21 d,果皮的去蜡处理对两种李果实贮藏时的腐烂率、失重率、硬度以及果肉的可溶性固形物含量、可滴定酸含量均有显著影响,去蜡处理加速了果实腐烂率、失重率的上升和硬度的下降,且在芙蓉李中的变幅更大、25℃贮藏时表现更突出。去蜡处理降低了芙蓉李贮藏中后期可溶性固形物含量的增加速度,促进了可滴定酸含量的下降速度;去蜡处理的油?在4℃贮藏中后期的可溶性固形物含量也低于保留蜡质处理、而可滴定酸含量高于保留蜡质处理(35 d除外)。【结论】果皮蜡质的存在有助于保持李果实的品质,且不同品种的蜡质结构差异对贮藏性有影响。这些发现可为李果实贮藏保鲜技术的开发提供参考。

黑龙江省李病虫害的发生特点与防治措施

李病虫害的发生可危害叶、花、果实、新梢等部位,引起落花、落叶、树体生长不良、果实商品性下降等问题。随着黑龙江省李种植面积的日益扩大,生产中病虫害发生也日趋严重,成为制约李树丰产、丰收与增效的重要因素。为了提高李栽培的品质以及经济效益,针对黑龙江省李生产中为害较严重的病害褐腐病、细菌性穿孔病、红点病、流胶病,虫害食心虫类、蚜虫类、叶螨类的危害症状、发生规律进行研究,并提出农业、物理、生物和化学综合防治措施。

不同益生菌对三华李发酵果汁品质及其体外消化特性的影响

以肠膜明串珠菌(Leuconostoc mesenteroides,LM)、发酵乳杆菌(Lactobacillus fermentum,LF)、鼠李糖乳杆菌(Lactobacillus rhamnosus,LR)、植物乳杆菌(Lactiplantibacillus plantarum,LP)为发酵菌株,研究不同益生菌对三华李发酵果汁理化性质、活性成分、抗氧化能力和体外消化特性的影响规律。结果表明,四种益生菌均能在三华李果汁中正常生长,发酵结束后三华李果汁中的益生菌活菌数均在107~108CFU/mL之间。发酵过程中LF、LR和LP均可消耗三华李果汁中的苹果酸,并生成乳酸和乙酸,降低了三华李果汁的酸度。四种益生菌发酵三华李果汁中,经LM发酵的三华李果汁能够较好的保留果汁颜色,且其具有更高的总酚、总花色苷及抗氧化水平,其次为经LP发酵的三华李果汁。体外消化后,四种益生菌发酵三华李果汁的活菌数、活性成分和抗氧化水平均呈不同程度的下降。然而,经LP和LR发酵的三华李果汁消化结束后的益生菌活菌数、活性成分含量以及抗氧化活性的保留率均较高。综合分析可知,经LP和LR发酵的三华李果汁不仅能够较好保留三华李果汁活性成分和抗氧化水平,而且具有较好的消化耐受性。因此,LP和LR可作为高品质三华李发酵果汁的潜在发酵剂,为益生菌发酵三华李果汁的开发提供理论依据。
