Based on total phenolic content and total antioxidant capacity data gathered from a large apple biodiversity collection, we applied untargeted metabolomics analyses to further understand the phenolic composition in select accessions with very low and very high phenolic contents, as well as in commercial cultivars. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis provided both qualitative and quantitative information, with 2,946 features detected using the positive mode of electrospray ionization. We found significant variation in total polyphenols, and strong correlations between total phenolic content and total antioxidant capacity. Polyphenolic compounds significantly associated with each group of apples were quantified, and new features were putatively identified. This study provides new knowledge regarding the specific polyphenols that contribute to the variation in total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity among apples, and new insights into the biochemical regulations of polyphenol biosynthesis and composition.","PeriodicalId":37667,"journal":{"name":"Fruit Growing Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135601052","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}

In order to meet consumer demand for new species and varieties in a timely manner, it is necessary to widely introduce new technologies for the production of planting material along with traditional methods of reproduction. Micropropagation and plant health improvement is the most advanced and widely used methodology of applied biotechnology in different countries.

Here, we investigated the influence of visible light, including red, green and blue light, on peel coloration in peach. Blue light had a better ability to induce anthocyanin pigmentation in peach peel than red and green light. A transcription factor, PpHYH , was identified to be responsible for visible light-induced anthocyanin accumulation in peach peel. The PpHYH gene was more highly expressed in peach peel exposed to blue light than in the peel exposed to red and green light. Moreover, PpHYH had two alternative splicing variants, PpHYH-X1 and PpHYH-X2 , with the latter having a stronger ability to activate transcription of PpMYB10.1 . Blue light had better ability to increase the ratio of PpHYH-X2 to PpHYH-X1 compared to green and red light. Thus, the role of blue light in peach peel anthocyanin pigmentation could be attributed to its ability to activate the transcription of PpHYH and to ensure the relative abundance of the PpHYH-X2 transcript. Additionally, light was able to enhance the occurrence of alternative splicing variants in peach peel. Our results confirmed the important role of PpHYH gene in light-induced anthocyanin pigmentation in peach peel.","PeriodicalId":37667,"journal":{"name":"Fruit Growing Research","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84084506","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}

To better understand the aroma of apples, 2-dimensional gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (2D-GCMS) was used to quantify 106 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from 515 apple varieties. We identified esters and aldehydes as the most abundant classes of VOCs, with butyl acetate and hexyl acetate being present in nearly every variety. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the primary axis of variation in the apple volatilome is correlated with harvest date, with early-harvested apples expressing a greater number and higher concentration of VOCs compared to late-harvested apples. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using 250,579 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified a significant association between SNPs near the alcohol acyltransferase (AAT1) locus and the abundance of several esters. Additionally, strong associations were observed between SNPs at the NAC18.1 transcription factor locus and the abundances of 1-hexanol and 1-butanol, which serve as precursors for hexyl acetate and butyl acetate, respectively. These findings provide a foundation for understanding the genetic basis of apple aroma production and pave the way for the genomics-assisted enhancement of the aroma profiles of apple varieties to meet","PeriodicalId":37667,"journal":{"name":"Fruit Growing Research","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74438940","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}
