Abstract
Walnut oil bodies (WOBs), the storage lipid organelles that forms and accumulates with walnut development. However, there is little literature about the lipid compositions and dynamic changes of WOBs during development. To address this gap in knowledge, lipidomics profile and metabolic modulation of WOBs during walnut (wen 185 cultivar) development (60, 74, 88, 102, 116, and 130 days after pollination, S1-S6) were analyzed using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). A total of 305 individual lipids in WOBs were mainly glycerolipids (79.34%), glycerophospholipids (12.13%), and fatty acyls (7.21%). Moreover, triacylglycerols, diacylglycerols, monoglycerides, free fatty acids, phosphatidylglycerols and phosphatidylcholines had high relative content. Notably, triacylglycerols were the most abundant lipids in WOBs at every stage and they were rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid. With the walnut development, 209 lipids changed significantly between the S1 and S6 stages. The linoleic acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism and glycerolipid metabolism pathways were significantly enriched. Among the three metabolic pathways, linoleic acid metabolism had the greatest impact on WOBs formation and metabolism. Therefore, regulating linoleic acid metabolism would be one of the strategies to control the formation and metabolism of WOBs. Together, these findings contributed to further understanding of the potential mechanisms of lipid accumulation in WOBs.
期刊介绍:
Scientia Horticulturae is an international journal publishing research related to horticultural crops. Articles in the journal deal with open or protected production of vegetables, fruits, edible fungi and ornamentals under temperate, subtropical and tropical conditions. Papers in related areas (biochemistry, micropropagation, soil science, plant breeding, plant physiology, phytopathology, etc.) are considered, if they contain information of direct significance to horticulture. Papers on the technical aspects of horticulture (engineering, crop processing, storage, transport etc.) are accepted for publication only if they relate directly to the living product. In the case of plantation crops, those yielding a product that may be used fresh (e.g. tropical vegetables, citrus, bananas, and other fruits) will be considered, while those papers describing the processing of the product (e.g. rubber, tobacco, and quinine) will not. The scope of the journal includes all horticultural crops but does not include speciality crops such as, medicinal crops or forestry crops, such as bamboo. Basic molecular studies without any direct application in horticulture will not be considered for this journal.
