Melatonin regulates proline metabolism by modulating CmDREB1A/E to enhance cold tolerance in cantaloupe fruit
The potential regulatory mechanisms of 100 μM melatonin (MT) treatment on proline accumulation in cantaloupe fruit under cold stress were investigated. The results showed that MT treatment increased the content of free proline in cold-stored cantaloupe fruit by upregulating the expressions of the Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS) and ornithine δ-aminotransferase (OAT) genes and decreasing the transcripts and enzyme activity of proline dehydrogenase (ProDH). Furthermore, the yeast one-hybrid assay screened for CmDREB1A and CmDREB1E that bind CmP5CS, and electrophoretic mobility shift analysis and dual luciferase reporter gene verified that these two transcription factors could bind the CmP5CS promoter. Further experiments showed that CmDREB1A and CmDREB1E were involved in improving cold tolerance in cantaloupe by MT and regulating the expression of CmP5CS. Our study suggests that MT treatment promotes CmP5CS expression and positively regulates proline accumulation by activating CmDREB1A and CmDREB1E in cantaloupe, thereby improving fruit cold stress tolerance.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
