To explore novel flower coloration, two full-length cDNAs encoding chalcone 4'-O-glucosyltransferase (designated as SRY4'CGT) and aureusidin synthase (designated as SRYAS1) in the aurone biosynthetic pathway were cloned from yellow flowers of snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus cv. Ribbon Yellow). Binary vectors were constructed and transformed separately into Petunia hybrida harboring blue flowers. Only a few flowers in 4 out of 9 transgenic SRY4'CGT plants showed variegated blue-white sectors;as time passed, amounts of variegated flowers and proportion of white sectors in the background blue color of the new-born flowers gradually increased, until finally, the petal color was completely white in all late-born flowers. In contrast, a few flowers in 3 out of 13 transgenic SRYAS1 plants showed variegated blue-white sectors;but, the amounts of variegated flowers did not increase over the whole flowering stage, and no complete white flowers were observed. RNA samples isolated from blue and white sectors of T1 transgenic SRY4'CGT plants were analyzed by reverse transcription-PCR, transgenic SRY4'CGT transcripts were detected in both sectors;however, transcripts of an upstream gene, chalcone synthase (CHS), were abundantly detected in the blue sectors but largely reduced in the white sectors, suggesting that the expression of CHS gene was suppressed in white sectors of transgenic plants. Furthermore, HPLC coupled with mass spectrometry demonstrated cyandin, malvidin and their derivatives were absent in white sectors, causing the white phenotype. Our findings may be attractive to molecular breeders.展开更多

In this study, a P. lactiflora cultivar with double colors including white outer-petal and yellow inner-petal was used as the experimental materials to perform the qualitative and quantitative analysis of flavonoids by high-performance liquid chromatograph-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry（HPLC-ESI-MSn） and investigate the expression patterns of flavonoid biosynthetic genes using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Q-PCR）. The results showed that the colors of both petals gradually weakened with flower development. Moreover, one main anthocyanin composition（peonidin 3,5-di-O-glucoside） and five main anthoxanthin compositions（kaempferol di-hexoside, kaempferol-3-O-malonylglucoside-7-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-galactoside, luteolin-7-O-glucoside and isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside） were found in the both, differing significantly in their peak areas only. Total anthocyanin, anthoxanthin and flavonoid contents in white outer-petal and yellow inner-petal gradually decreased during flower development, and were consistently higher in white outer-petal. Furthermore, the expression patterns of nine structural genes in P. lactiflora flavonoid biosynthetic pathway showed that the expression levels of phenylalanine ammonialyase gene（Pl PAL）, chalcone synthase gene（PlC HS）, flavanone 3-hydroxylase gene（PlF 3H）, anthocyanidin synthase gene（PlA NS） and UDP-glucoside： flavonoid 5-O-glucosyltransferase gene（Pl F5GT） in two petals basically presented declined tendencies, and transcription levels of Pl PAL, Pl CHS, Pl ANS, Pl F3 GT and Pl F5 GT also tended to be higher in white outer-petal, which was correlated with their flavonoid contents. These results would lay a solid foundation for the exploration and utilization of flavonoid resources in P. lactiflora flowers.展开更多

[Methods]The differential proteins of wild type and its white mutant were separated and identified by using one-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry( 1-DE/MS). [Results] Compared with leaves and spadices,the 1-DE patterns of two kinds of spathe proteins were significantly different,and two different bands were detected in wild type spathes and mutant spathes respectively. The four significantly differential bands were selected and analyzed by mass spectrometry,and 138,111,70 and 427 proteins were identified respectively. The results of GO functional annotation analysis showed that the molecular functions of the proteins were mainly catalytic activity and binding,and the main biological processes involved were cellular process and metabolic process. Many proteins involved in the synthesis of anthocyanins and flavonoids,sugar metabolism and some resistance proteins were screened,indicating that the spathe color difference of A. andraeanum‘Pink champion'is not only related to anthocyanin anabolism,but also regulated by various metabolic pathways. [Conclusions]The study provides a new experimental basis for elucidating the molecular mechanism of the regulation of A. andraeanum flower color.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
