The induced resistance of JA and BTH to Sphaerotheca pannosa(Wallr.) and the changes of their related physiological indices were investigated. Results showed that JA and BTH treatments had inhibitory impacts on S. pannosa infection. The optimal concentration of JA and BTH was 0.5 mmol/L for the disease-resistance induction of the leaves, its inductive effect was up to 66.36% for BTH and 54.49% for JA. Our results confirmed that exogenous JA and BTH significantly improved R. rugose ‘Plena’ resistance to S. pannosa. When treated with JA and BTH, activities of the three defense enzymes(POD, PPO, and PAL) increased significantly.Contents of total phenolics, flavonoids, and lignin also increased significantly. It is inferred from these results that exogenous JA and BTH could improve the resistance of R.rugose ‘Plena’ to S. pannosa through enhancing activities of the defensive enzymes and accumulation of secondary metabolites in the leaves.展开更多

However, its area of distribution, the number of populations, and the size of each population have decreased rapidly in the past two decades because of habitat degradation and loss. Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers were used to determine the genetic diversity of four remaining large natural populations of R. rugosa and to discuss an effective conservation strategy for this endangered species in China. High genetic variations were detected in R. rugosa populations in China. The mean percentage of polymorphic loci (P%) within four local populations was 57.99%, with the P% of the total population being 75.30%. Mean Shannon's information index (H0) was 0.2826, whereas total Ho was 0.3513. The genetic differentiation among populations was 0.1878, which indicates that most genetic diversity occurs within populations. Population Tumenjiang (TMJ) showed the highest genetic diversity (P% = 66.27%; H0 = 0.3117) and contained two exclusive bands. Population Changshandao (CSD) showed higher genetic diversity (P% =59.04%; H0 = 0.3065). Populations TMJ and CSD contained 95.33% and 99.33%, respectively, of loci with moderate to high frequency (P〉0.05) of the total population. These results indicate that populations TMJ and CSD should be given priority for in situ conservation and regarded as seed or propagule sources for ex situ conservation. The results of the present study also suggest that R. rugosa in China has become endangered as a result of human actions rather than genetic depression of populations; thus, human interference should be absolutely forbidden in R. rugosa habitats.展开更多

Glycosylation modification fulfills an important role in increasing the stability and solubility of anthocyanin in plants. In this study, based on the transcriptional database of R. rugosa, a gene with full length cDNA of 1422bp, encoding 473 amino acids, designated as RrGT2, were isolated from flowers of R. rugosa ‘Zizhi’ and then functionally characterized. According to online software prediction, the molecular formula of the protein encoded by the RrGT2 gene is C2334H3628N602O711S18, the relative molecular mass is 52,075.17 Da, and the theoretical isoelectric point is pI = 4.76. The result of the RrGT2 protein 3D model construction showed that it had the highest homology with the UDP-glycosyltransferase 74F2 protein model in the database (39.53%). Sequence alignments with the NCBI database showed that the RrGT2 protein is a member of the GTB superfamily. Homology analysis revealed that the coding regions of RrGT2 was highly specific among different species, but still had typical conserved amino acid residues called PSPG that are crucial for RrGT2 enzyme activity. RrGT2 transcripts were detected in five flowering stages and seven tissues of R. rugosa ‘Zizhi’, R. rugosa ‘Fenzizhi’ and R. rugosa ‘Baizizhi’, and their expression patterns corresponded with the accumulation of antho-cyanins. Therefore, we speculated that glycosylation of RrGT2 plays a crucial role in anthocyanin biosynthesis in R. rugosa.展开更多

In this study, the species and contents of anthocyanins in the petals of three R. rugosa hybrid cultivars, R. rugosa “Zizhi”, R. rugosa “Fenzizhi” and R. rugosa “Baizizhi”, were analyzed, and the direct cause of the differences in flower color of three R. rugosa hybrid cultivars was inferred. This paper provides a reference for the coloration mechanism and flower color breeding of R. rugosa. The specific methods are as follows: the petals of five flowering stages of three R. rugosa hybrid cultivars were used as materials, and the types and contents of anthocyanins contained in them were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The same six kinds of anthocyanins were identified in R. rugosa “Zizhi” and R. rugosa “Fenzizhi”, mainly based on the diglycoside of paeoniflorin and cyanidin. The relative contents of the two anthocyanins were higher at budding stage and initial opening stage. In the different flowering stages of R. rugosa “Zizhi”, the content of Pn3G5G was up to 4280.84 ± 20.82 μg·g-1, and the content of Cy3G5G was up to 789.41 ± 1.21 μg·g-1. In R. rugosa “Fenzizhi”, the highest content of Pn3G5G reached 1293.50 ± 17.64 μg·g-1, and the content of Cy3G5G was up to 358.86 ± 3.94 μg·g-1. It could be speculated that the difference in the contents of Pn3G5G and Cy3G5G was the main reason for the difference in coloration between the petals of R. rugosa “Zizhi” and R. rugosa “Fenzizhi”. A total of five species of anthocyanins were identified in R. rugosa “Baizizhi” and their contents were relatively low. Compared with R. rugosa “Zizhi” and R. rugosa “Fenzizhi”, the presence of Cy3G was not detected. Therefore, we speculated that the two reasons above might be responsible for the visual white flowers of R. rugosa “Baizizhi”.展开更多

By ...R2R3-MYB transcription factor plays an important role in plant anthocyanin synthesis. Based on the transcriptional database of Rosa rugosa, one MYB transcription factor related to floral color, RrMYB6, was cloned. By using bioinformatics analysis method, cloning MYB gene and analyzing its function in anthocyanin biosynthesis regulation, we hope to lay a solid foundation for new color variety breeding of R. rugosa. Using the R. rugosa “Zi zhi” as the material, we obtained the total length of cDNA of RrMYB6 by RT-PCR and RACE. By analyzing its bioinformatics, we found that the formula of the protein was C1491H2368N452O470S17, molecular weight was 34690.97 Da, the theoretical pI was 8.74. In addition, it belonged to unstable protein with an unstable index at 50.59, and it was also a hydrophilic protein with the total average hydrophobic index at -0.847. In the secondary structure of RrMYB6 protein, the Alpha helix accounted for 32.35%, random coil was 47.39%, extended strand was 11.11%, and beta turn was 9.15%. The sequence analysis showed that RrMYB6 had a typical R2R3-MYB domain and bHLH binding domain, and it also had an N1, C1, C2 inhibitory motif, belonging to the Sg4 subfamily MYB protein. What’s more, evolutionary analysis indicated that the RrMYB6 protein was closely related with the MYB protein in Rosacea family, while it was far from those in other families. The expression analysis showed that RrMYB6 protein decreased with the color of petals deeping, and its expression was the lowest in the petals while the highest in stamens. According to the above results, it was speculated that RrMYB6 was involved in regulating the anthocyanin synthesis of R. rugosa, which belonged to negative regulatory mechanism.展开更多

Furthermore, their phylogenetic relationships are consistent with their traditional classifications. These results were meaningful to reveal the molecular mechanism of R. rugosa pollination incompatibility and improve the theory and techniques of breeding ornamental R. rugosa.展开更多

Sequence analysis results showed that RrMYB10.1 had a full length opening reading frame of 747bp, encoding 249 amino acids. Sequence analysis revealed that RrMYB10.1 contained the conserved R2R3-MYB domain, two atypical anthocyanin-promoting motifs and a conserved amino acid signature for the interaction with bHLH protein. The results of phylogenic tree revealed that RrMYB10.1 showed high homology with other anthocyanin-promoting proteins in Rosacea, and sharing the highest identity (98.39%) with RhMYB10. RT-PCR results showed that RrMYB10.1 was mainly expressed in petals among various tissues and expressed significantly higher in petals in bud stage than in opening period. To sum up, these results showed that RrMYN10.1 may play a key role in regulating anthocyanin concentration, thus providing a certain foundation on regulating flower color formation in Rosa rugosa.展开更多

Glycosylation modification fulfills an important role in increasing the stability and solubility of anthocyanin in plants. In this study, based on the transcriptional database of R. rugosa, a gene with full length cDNA of 1161 bp, encoding 386 amino acids, designated as RrGT1, were isolated from flowers of R. rugosa “Zizhi” and then functionally characterized. Sequence alignments with the NCBI database show that the RrGT1 protein is a member of the GTB superfamily and has typical conserved amino acid residues called PSPG that are crucial for RrGT1 enzyme activity. RrGT1 transcripts were detected in five flowering stages and seven tissues of R. rugosa “Zizhi” and their expression patterns corresponded with the accumulation of anthocyanins. Additionally, the in vivo function of RrGT1 was investigated via its overexpression in tobacco. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing RrGT1 induced anthocyanin accumulation in flowers, indicating that RrGT1 could encode a functional glycosyltransferase (GT) protein for anthocyanin biosynthesis and could function in other species. Therefore, we speculated that glycosylation of RrGT1 played a crucial role in anthocyanin biosynthesis in R. rugosa.展开更多

These results indicate that populations TMJ and CSD should be given priority for in situ conservation and regarded as seed or propagule sources for ex situ conservation. The results of the present study also suggest that R. rugosa in China has become endangered as a result of human actions rather than genetic depression of populations; thus, human interference should be absolutely forbidden in R. rugosa habitats.
文摘At present, the research about flower color of Rosa rugosa is a very inno-vative and practical study. Glycosylation modification fulfills an important role in increasing the stability and solubility of anthocyanin in plants. In this study, based on the transcriptional database of R. rugosa, a gene with full length cDNA of 1422bp, encoding 473 amino acids, designated as RrGT2, were isolated from flowers of R. rugosa ‘Zizhi’ and then functionally characterized. According to online software prediction, the molecular formula of the protein encoded by the RrGT2 gene is C2334H3628N602O711S18, the relative molecular mass is 52,075.17 Da, and the theoretical isoelectric point is pI = 4.76. The result of the RrGT2 protein 3D model construction showed that it had the highest homology with the UDP-glycosyltransferase 74F2 protein model in the database (39.53%). Sequence alignments with the NCBI database showed that the RrGT2 protein is a member of the GTB superfamily. Homology analysis revealed that the coding regions of RrGT2 was highly specific among different species, but still had typical conserved amino acid residues called PSPG that are crucial for RrGT2 enzyme activity. RrGT2 transcripts were detected in five flowering stages and seven tissues of R. rugosa ‘Zizhi’, R. rugosa ‘Fenzizhi’ and R. rugosa ‘Baizizhi’, and their expression patterns corresponded with the accumulation of antho-cyanins. Therefore, we speculated that glycosylation of RrGT2 plays a crucial role in anthocyanin biosynthesis in R. rugosa.
文摘The species and contents of anthocyanins in plant petals can make plants appear pink, red, violet and blue, etc., and play a major role in the coloration of plants. In this study, the species and contents of anthocyanins in the petals of three R. rugosa hybrid cultivars, R. rugosa “Zizhi”, R. rugosa “Fenzizhi” and R. rugosa “Baizizhi”, were analyzed, and the direct cause of the differences in flower color of three R. rugosa hybrid cultivars was inferred. This paper provides a reference for the coloration mechanism and flower color breeding of R. rugosa. The specific methods are as follows: the petals of five flowering stages of three R. rugosa hybrid cultivars were used as materials, and the types and contents of anthocyanins contained in them were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The same six kinds of anthocyanins were identified in R. rugosa “Zizhi” and R. rugosa “Fenzizhi”, mainly based on the diglycoside of paeoniflorin and cyanidin. The relative contents of the two anthocyanins were higher at budding stage and initial opening stage. In the different flowering stages of R. rugosa “Zizhi”, the content of Pn3G5G was up to 4280.84 ± 20.82 μg·g-1, and the content of Cy3G5G was up to 789.41 ± 1.21 μg·g-1. In R. rugosa “Fenzizhi”, the highest content of Pn3G5G reached 1293.50 ± 17.64 μg·g-1, and the content of Cy3G5G was up to 358.86 ± 3.94 μg·g-1. It could be speculated that the difference in the contents of Pn3G5G and Cy3G5G was the main reason for the difference in coloration between the petals of R. rugosa “Zizhi” and R. rugosa “Fenzizhi”. A total of five species of anthocyanins were identified in R. rugosa “Baizizhi” and their contents were relatively low. Compared with R. rugosa “Zizhi” and R. rugosa “Fenzizhi”, the presence of Cy3G was not detected. Therefore, we speculated that the two reasons above might be responsible for the visual white flowers of R. rugosa “Baizizhi”.
文摘R2R3-MYB transcription factor plays an important role in plant anthocyanin synthesis. Based on the transcriptional database of Rosa rugosa, one MYB transcription factor related to floral color, RrMYB6, was cloned. By using bioinformatics analysis method, cloning MYB gene and analyzing its function in anthocyanin biosynthesis regulation, we hope to lay a solid foundation for new color variety breeding of R. rugosa. Using the R. rugosa “Zi zhi” as the material, we obtained the total length of cDNA of RrMYB6 by RT-PCR and RACE. By analyzing its bioinformatics, we found that the formula of the protein was C1491H2368N452O470S17, molecular weight was 34690.97 Da, the theoretical pI was 8.74. In addition, it belonged to unstable protein with an unstable index at 50.59, and it was also a hydrophilic protein with the total average hydrophobic index at -0.847. In the secondary structure of RrMYB6 protein, the Alpha helix accounted for 32.35%, random coil was 47.39%, extended strand was 11.11%, and beta turn was 9.15%. The sequence analysis showed that RrMYB6 had a typical R2R3-MYB domain and bHLH binding domain, and it also had an N1, C1, C2 inhibitory motif, belonging to the Sg4 subfamily MYB protein. What’s more, evolutionary analysis indicated that the RrMYB6 protein was closely related with the MYB protein in Rosacea family, while it was far from those in other families. The expression analysis showed that RrMYB6 protein decreased with the color of petals deeping, and its expression was the lowest in the petals while the highest in stamens. According to the above results, it was speculated that RrMYB6 was involved in regulating the anthocyanin synthesis of R. rugosa, which belonged to negative regulatory mechanism.
文摘In order to reveal which role the callose played in R. rugosa pollination incompatibility, the full-length cDNA sequence of β-1,3-glucanase gene was cloned for the first time from the stylus of Rosa rugosa “Tanghong” with RT-PCR and RACE methods and named as RrGlu. The full-length cDNA is 1380 bp with an open reading frame of 1041 bp, encoding 346 amino acids. The derived protein has a molecular weight of 37.85 kD, a calculated pI of 9.12, a pfam00332 conserved domain at position 36 - 345, and belongs to glycosyl hydrolase family 17. The derived protein is a hydrophilic protein secreted into the vacuole. There is a signal peptide cleavage site at position 34 - 35, a transmembrane domain at position 13 - 32, six Ser phosphorylation sites, three Thr phosphorylation sites, three Tyr phosphorylation sites, one N-glycosylation site, and five O-glycosylation sites. There are 31.50% α-helixes, 30.92% random coil, 25.14% extended peptide chain, and 12.43% β-corner structure. This protein and the Glu protein from eight other species, including Prunus persica, share a sequence homology of greater than 72%;all of the proteins contain a pfam00332 conserved domain and a β-1,3-glucanase active center sequence (LIVM)-X-(LIVMFYW)3-(STAG)-E-(ST)-G-W-P-(ST)-X-G. Furthermore, their phylogenetic relationships are consistent with their traditional classifications. These results were meaningful to reveal the molecular mechanism of R. rugosa pollination incompatibility and improve the theory and techniques of breeding ornamental R. rugosa.
文摘Rosa rugosa is an important garden ornamental plant which belongs to the genus Rosa of the family Rosaceae. The current wild and cultivated R. rugosa are mostly purple, pink, a small amount of white, but lack of yellow, orange and so on. Flavonoids 3’-hydroxylase belongs to CYP75B subfamily of cytochrome P450, and is an essential enzyme in anthocyanins synthesis. In this experiment, RrF3’H gene was cloned from the petal of Rosa rugosa ‘Hunchun’ using RT-PCR, and bioinformatics analysis was performed. The RrF3’H gene’s full length of opening reading frame was 1687 bp, encoding 510 amino acids. The formulas of proteins encoded by RrF3’H were C2666H4149N699O734S24. The derived protein had a molecular weight of 58,506.95 Da. The aliphatic index was 90.94. It belongs to unstable hydrophilic protein. The protein consists of 46.76% α-helix, 31.04% random coil, 7.66% β-corner and 14.54% extended strand. The protein contains 21 Ser phosphorylation sites, 12 Thr phosphorylation sites, and 2 Tyr phosphorylation sites. The protein contained two O-glycosylation sites, located at positions 98 and 263 of the amino acid sequence respectively. The protein has a signal peptide site and a transmembrane structure. In addition, by comparing the expression levels of RrF3’H, we found RrF3’H was positively correlated with the depth of flower color.
文摘Based on the transcriptome of Rosa rugosa, one anthocyanin-promoting R2R3-MYB gene, RrMYB10.1 (Accession Nos:MH717244), was cloned from the petals of Rosa rugosa ‘Zizhi’. Sequence analysis results showed that RrMYB10.1 had a full length opening reading frame of 747bp, encoding 249 amino acids. Sequence analysis revealed that RrMYB10.1 contained the conserved R2R3-MYB domain, two atypical anthocyanin-promoting motifs and a conserved amino acid signature for the interaction with bHLH protein. The results of phylogenic tree revealed that RrMYB10.1 showed high homology with other anthocyanin-promoting proteins in Rosacea, and sharing the highest identity (98.39%) with RhMYB10. RT-PCR results showed that RrMYB10.1 was mainly expressed in petals among various tissues and expressed significantly higher in petals in bud stage than in opening period. To sum up, these results showed that RrMYN10.1 may play a key role in regulating anthocyanin concentration, thus providing a certain foundation on regulating flower color formation in Rosa rugosa.
文摘Rosa rugosa has always been an important plant in landscape application, and the improvements and innovations about its flower color are particularly important. Glycosylation modification fulfills an important role in increasing the stability and solubility of anthocyanin in plants. In this study, based on the transcriptional database of R. rugosa, a gene with full length cDNA of 1161 bp, encoding 386 amino acids, designated as RrGT1, were isolated from flowers of R. rugosa “Zizhi” and then functionally characterized. Sequence alignments with the NCBI database show that the RrGT1 protein is a member of the GTB superfamily and has typical conserved amino acid residues called PSPG that are crucial for RrGT1 enzyme activity. RrGT1 transcripts were detected in five flowering stages and seven tissues of R. rugosa “Zizhi” and their expression patterns corresponded with the accumulation of anthocyanins. Additionally, the in vivo function of RrGT1 was investigated via its overexpression in tobacco. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing RrGT1 induced anthocyanin accumulation in flowers, indicating that RrGT1 could encode a functional glycosyltransferase (GT) protein for anthocyanin biosynthesis and could function in other species. Therefore, we speculated that glycosylation of RrGT1 played a crucial role in anthocyanin biosynthesis in R. rugosa.
文摘In order to determine if the TFL1 is related with the continuous flowering phenotype of wild Rosa rugosa from Muping, the full-length cDNA sequence of TFL1 Gene was cloned for the first time from the flower buds of wild Rosa rugosafrom Muping with RT-PCR and RACE methods and named as RrTFL1. The full-length cDNA is 973 bp with an open reading frame of 519 bp, encoding 172 amino acids. The derived protein has a molecular weight of 19.48 kD, a calculated pI of 9.13, a c100227 conserved domain at position 1-172, and belongs to PEBP family. The derived protein is a Hydrophilic protein secreted into the cytoplasmic. There is no transmembrane domain and no signal peptide cleavage site, five Ser phosphorylation sites, seven Thr phosphorylation sites, three Tyr phosphorylation sites, one O-glycosylation site, and no N-glycosylation sites. There are 24.42% α-helixes, 36.63% random coil, 27.91% extended peptide chain, and 11.05% β-corner structure. This protein and the TFL1 protein from Rosaceae plants, including Rosa chinensis, share a sequence homology of 87% - 96%. All of the proteins contain a c100227 conserved domain, two highly conserved modules D-P-D-x-P, G-x-H-R, and two functional sites His, Asp. Furthermore, their phylogenetic relationships are consistent with their traditional classifications. These results not only laid a foundation for further researching the expression and function of RrTFL1, but also cultivating new varieties of R. rugosawhich can flower continuously by gene engineering.
