SWEETs (Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporter) are important sugar transporters involved in various biological processes and responses to various stresses. However, SWEETs in mulberry are still poorly studied without a comprehensive functional analysis of SWEETs . In the present study, a total of 24 SWEETs were identified using the Morus alba (Ma) genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these 24 MaSWEETs were clustered with SWEETs from Arabidopsis , Populus and Oryza and fell into four clades. MaSWEET s in the same clade are likely to pose similar intron/exon patterns. These MaSWEET s distributed on 12 chromosomes and tandem duplication and block duplication were responsible for the expansion of SWEETs in mulberry. Transmembrane domains and conserved active sites of Tyr and Asp were observed in MaSWEETs. Cis-elements in promoter regions of MaSWEET s indicated the possible function of MaSWEET s in response to hormones and environment stimulus. MaSWEET s showed quite different expression preference in tissues and organs indicating the possible function divergence. In addition, most MaSWEETs showed a disturbed expression levels in response to various abiotic stresses and Ciboria shiraiana infection. MaSWEET1a was functionally characterized as a negative regulator of resistance to C. shiraiana infection based on in vivo transient overexpression of MaSWEET1a in tobacco and down-regulation of MaSWEET1a/b in mulberry. Our results provided foundation for further functional dissection of SWEETs in mulberry and a potential regulator for genetic modification.","PeriodicalId":223765,"journal":{"name":"Beverage Plant Research","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130257586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arabica generally possesses better coffee quality than Robusta partly due its higher sucrose content. The flavor and taste (FT) of coffee, as important aspects of coffee quality, are mainly affected by the content of caffeine, phenolic acid and terpenoid compounds, which use sucrose as an important precursor. However, how sucrose affects the coffee FT remains unclear. In this study, coffee beans at different developmental stages from Arabica #161 (A161, high-sucrose variety) and Robusta #6 (R6, low-sucrose variety) were sampled to perform transcriptomic analysis. Most differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between them were enriched in sucrose-related metabolisms and the FT-related metabolism processes: caffeine biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid and flavonoid pathway, terpenoid metabolism. Thirty-four candidate DEGs probably contributed to the higher content of sucrose, anthocyanin and linalool in A161, and higher content of caffeine and carotenoid in R6. Generally, sucrose-related metabolisms were strongly associated with FT-related substance accumulation. The content of sucrose and its influence on the downstream secondary metabolism probably play important roles in the FT quality of coffee beans. Our results provide efficient targets for investigation regarding the influence of sucrose on FT quality of coffee beans.","PeriodicalId":223765,"journal":{"name":"Beverage Plant Research","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126809856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
