Abstract

Actinidia arguta is a newly emerged, commercially cultivated Actinidia species. A. arguta has a beautiful appearance and is rich in anthocyanin, and is thus highly welcomed by consumers. However, the mechanism of anthocyanin regulation in A. arguta remains unclear. In this study, we assembled the nearly complete genome of the first red A. arguta cultivar, 'Tianyuanhong', with an N50 of 21 Mb. Comparative genome analysis revealed a role of the expansion/contraction of gene families in the species-specific trait formation of A. arguta. Through verification of transient overexpression and stable transformation, RNA-seq analysis revealed a key bHLH transcription factor, AaBEE1, which negatively regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis. DAP-seq analysis combined with Y1H, EMSA, Chip-qPCR and LUC suggested that AaBEE1 binds to the G-box of the AaLDOX promoter and suppresses its expression. Overall, we assembled the genome of A. arguta and clarified its AaBEE1-AaLDOX module-mediated molecular mechanism of anthocyanin regulation.

期刊介绍： Aims Molecular Horticulture aims to publish research and review articles that significantly advance our knowledge in understanding how the horticultural crops or their parts operate mechanistically. Articles should have profound impacts not only in terms of high citation number or the like, but more importantly on the direction of the horticultural research field. Scope Molecular Horticulture publishes original Research Articles, Letters, and Reviews on novel discoveries on the following, but not limited to, aspects of horticultural plants (including medicinal plants): ▪ Developmental and evolutionary biology ▪ Physiology, biochemistry and cell biology ▪ Plant-microbe and plant-environment interactions ▪ Genetics and epigenetics ▪ Molecular breeding and biotechnology ▪ Secondary metabolism and synthetic biology ▪ Multi-omics dealing with data sets of genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, epigenome and/or microbiome. The journal also welcomes research articles using model plants that reveal mechanisms and/or principles readily applicable to horticultural plants, translational research articles involving application of basic knowledge (including those of model plants) to the horticultural crops, novel Methods and Resources of broad interest. In addition, the journal publishes Editorial, News and View, and Commentary and Perspective on current, significant events and topics in global horticultural fields with international interests.
