Abstract
Anthocyanins, natural pigments known for their vibrant hues and beneficial properties, undergo intricate genetic control. However, red vegetables grown in plant factories frequently exhibit reduced anthocyanin synthesis compared to those in open fields due to factors like inadequate light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient availability. Comprehending these factors is essential for optimizing plant factory environments to enhance anthocyanin synthesis. This review insights the impact of physiological and genetic factors on the production of anthocyanins in red lettuce grown under controlled conditions. Further, we aim to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in both synthesis and degradation of anthocyanins. Moreover, this review summarizes the identified regulators of anthocyanin synthesis in lettuce, addressing the gap in knowledge on controlling anthocyanin production in plant factories, with potential implications for various crops beyond red lettuce.

Wu X, Yang M, Liu C, Kuang R, He H, Zhou C, Wei Y. Transcriptome, Plant Hormone, and Metabolome Analysis Reveals the Mechanism of Purple Pericarp Formation in 'Zihui' Papaya ( Carica papaya L.). Molecules 2024; 29:1485. [PMID: 38611765 PMCID: PMC11013584 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The color of the pericarp is a crucial characteristic that influences the marketability of papaya fruit. Prior to ripening, normal papaya exhibits a green pericarp, whereas the cultivar 'Zihui' displays purple ring spots on the fruit tip, which significantly affects the fruit's visual appeal. To understand the mechanism behind the formation of purple pericarp, this study performed a thorough examination of the transcriptome, plant hormone, and metabolome. Based on the UPLC-ESI-MS/MS system, a total of 35 anthocyanins and 11 plant hormones were identified, with 27 anthocyanins and two plant hormones exhibiting higher levels of abundance in the purple pericarp. In the purple pericarp, 14 anthocyanin synthesis genes were up-regulated, including CHS, CHI, F3H, F3'5'H, F3'H, ANS, OMT, and CYP73A. Additionally, through co-expression network analysis, three MYBs were identified as potential key regulators of anthocyanin synthesis by controlling genes encoding anthocyanin biosynthesis. As a result, we have identified numerous key genes involved in anthocyanin synthesis and developed new insights into how the purple pericarp of papaya is formed.

Abstract
Cymbidium ensifolium is one of the national orchids in China, which has high ornamental value with changeable flower colors. To understand the formation mechanism of different flower colors of C. ensifolium, this research conducted transcriptome and metabolome analyses on four different colored sepals of C. ensifolium. Metabolome analysis detected 204 flavonoid metabolites, including 17 polyphenols, 27 anthocyanins, 75 flavones, 34 flavonols, 25 flavonoids, 18 flavanones, and 8 isoflavones. Among them, purple-red and red sepals contain a lot of anthocyanins, including cyanidin, pelargonin, and paeoniflorin, while yellow-green and white sepals have less anthocyanins detected, and their metabolites are mainly flavonols, flavanones and flavonoids. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that the expression levels of the anthocyanin biosynthetic enzyme genes in red and purple-red sepals were significantly higher than those in white and yellow-green sepals of C. ensifolium. The experimental results showed that CeF3'H2, CeDFR, CeANS, CeF3H and CeUFGT1 may be the key genes involved in anthocyanin production in C. ensifolium sepals, and CeMYB104 has been proved to play an important role in the flower color formation of C. ensifolium. The results of transformation showed that the CeMYB104 is involved in the synthesis of anthocyanins and can form a purple-red color in the white perianth of Phalaenopsis. These findings provide a theoretical reference to understand the formation mechanism of flower color in C. ensifolium.

Co-inoculation of Mycorrhiza and methyl jasmonate regulates morpho-physiological and antioxidant responses of Crocus sativus (Saffron) under salinity stress conditions. Sci Rep 2023; 13:7378. [PMID: 37149662 PMCID: PMC10164175 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-34359-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Salinity stress is the second most devastating abiotic factor limiting plant growth and yields. Climate changes have significantly increased salinity levels of soil. Besides improving the physiological responses under stress conditions, jasmonates modulate Mycorrhiza-Plant relationships. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJ) and Funneliformis mosseae (Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) on morphology and improving antioxidant mechanisms in Crocus sativus L. under salinity stress. After inoculation with AM, pre-treated C. sativus corms with MeJ were grown under low, moderate, and severe salinity stress. Intense salinity levels damaged the corm, root, total leaf dry weight, and area. Salinities up to 50 mM increased Proline content and Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, but MeJ increased this trend in proline. Generally, MeJ increased anthocyanins, total soluble sugars, and PPO. Total chlorophyll and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased by salinity. The maximum catalase and SOD activities in + MeJ + AM were 50 and 125 mM, respectively, and the maximum total chlorophyll in -MeJ + AM treatment was 75 mM. Although 20 and 50 mM increased plant growth, using mycorrhiza and jasmonate enhanced this trend. Moreover, these treatments reduced the damage of 75 and 100 mM salinity stress. Using MeJ and AM can improve the growth of saffron under various ranges of salinity stress levels; however, in severe levels like 120 mM, this phytohormone and F. mosseae effects on saffron could be adverse.

Abstract
1. Purple flowering stalk (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis L. var. purpurea Bailey) is a crop with the high-level anthocyanin. 2. Increased abundance of LBGs promoted the synthesis of anthocyanin. 3. TTG2 (WRKY) interacted with TTG1 (WD40), probably regulating anthocyanin accumulation by shaping a MBWW complex. Brassica crops are a class of nutrient-rich vegetables. Here, two Brassica Crops-Flowering Stalk cultivars, purple flowering stalk (Brassica campestris L. var. purpurea Bailey) and pakchoi (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis var. communis) were investigated. HPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis demonstrated that Cy 3-p-coumaroylsophoroside-5-malonylglucoside and Cy 3-diferuloylsophoroside-5-malonylglucoside were identified as the major anthocyanin in peel of purple flowering stalk. The transcript level of structural genes including C4H, CHS, F3H, DFR, ANS and UFGT, and regulatory genes such as TT8, TTG1, Bra004162, Bra001917 and TTG2 in peel of purple flowering stalk were significantly higher than that in peel of pakchoi. In addition, the TTG2(WRKY) interacted only with TTG1(WD40) and the interaction between TT8 (bHLH) and TTG1/Bra004162(MYB)/Bra001917(MYB) were identified. Else, the WD40-WRKY complex (TTG1-TTG2) could activate the transcript of TT12. Our study laid a foundation for the research on the anthocyanin accumulation in Brassica crops.

Abstract
Accumulation of anthocyanins in detached leaves and in excised stems of Kalanchoë blossfeldiana kept under natural light conditions in the presence or absence of methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) was investigated. When the abaxial surface of detached leaves was held lower than the adaxial surface (the normal or natural position) under natural light conditions, anthocyanins were not accumulated on the abaxial side of the leaves. In contrast, when the adaxial surface of detached leaves was held lower than the abaxial surface (inverted position), anthocyanins were highly accumulated on the abaxial side of the leaves. These phenomena were independent of the growth stage of K. blossfeldiana as well as photoperiod. Application of JA-Me in lanolin paste significantly inhibited anthocyanin accumulation induced on the abaxial side of detached leaves held in an inverted position in a dose-dependent manner. Anthocyanin accumulation in the excised stem in response to natural light was also significantly inhibited by JA-Me in lanolin paste. Possible mechanisms of anthocyanin accumulation on the abaxial side of detached K. blossfeldiana leaves held in an inverted position under natural light conditions and the inhibitory effect of JA-Me on this process are described. The accompanying changes in the content of primary metabolites and histological analyses were also described.

Abstract
Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments that can impart various colors to plants. Purple shamrock (Oxalis triangularis) possesses unique ornamental value due to its purple leaves. In this study, three anthocyanins, including malvidin 3-O-(4-O-(6-O-malonyl-glucopyranoside)-rhamnopyranosyl)-5-O-(6-O-malonyl-glucopyranoside), delphinidin-3-O-rutinoside and malvidin-3,5-di-O-glucoside, were characterized with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) in purple shamrock. To investigate the molecular mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis in green shamrock (Oxalis corymbosa) and purple shamrock, RNA-seq and qRT-PCR were performed, and the results showed that most of the anthocyanin biosynthetic and regulatory genes were up-regulated in purple shamrock. Then, dark treatment and low temperature treatment experiments in purple shamrock showed that both light and low temperature can induce the biosynthesis of anthocyanins.

Abstract
In plants, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate disease resistance against fungi and other pathogens. However, the specific mechanism behind this regulation remains unclear. In this study, we identified disease resistance-related lncRNAs as well as their regulating genes and assessed their functions by infection of cotton (Gossypium) chromosome segment substitution lines with Verticillium dahliae. Our results demonstrated that lncRNA7 and its regulating gene Pectin methylesterase inhibitor 13 (GbPMEI13) positively regulated disease resistance via the silencing approach, while ectopic overexpression of GbPMEI13 in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) promoted growth and enhanced resistance to V. dahliae. In contrast, lncRNA2 and its regulating gene Polygalacturonase 12 (GbPG12) negatively regulated resistance to V. dahliae. We further found that fungal disease-related agents, including the pectin-derived oligogalacturonide (OG), could downregulate the expression of lncRNA2 and GbPG12, leading to pectin accumulation. Conversely, OG upregulated the expression of lncRNA7, which encodes a plant peptide phytosulfokine (PSK-α), which was confirmed by lncRNA7 overexpression and Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS) experiments. We showed that PSK-α promoted 3-Indoleacetic acid (IAA) accumulation and activated GbPMEI13 expression through Auxin Response Factor 5. Since it is an inhibitor of pectin methylesterase (PME), GbPMEI13 promotes pectin methylation and therefore increases the resistance to V. dahliae. Consistently, we also demonstrated that GbPMEI13 inhibits the mycelial growth and spore germination of V. dahliae in vitro. In this study, we demonstrated that lncRNA7, lncRNA2, and their regulating genes modulate cell wall defense against V. dahliae via auxin-mediated signaling, providing a strategy for cotton breeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peel color is an economically relevant trait that influences the appearance and quality of red pear, whose red color is due to anthocyanin accumulation. Prohydrojasmon (PDJ), which has similar effects to endogenous jasmonates, was developed as a commercial bioregulator, particularly to improve fruits coloring. However, little information is available about the effect of PDJ on pears. This study investigated the effects of preharvest PDJ treatments on color development, phenolic compounds accumulation, and related gene expression in the red pear cultivar 'Nanhong'. The treatments were performed during the pre-color-change period by spraying 50 or 100 mg L-1 of PDJ on fruits. RESULTS Preharvest PDJ treatments had a significant effect on color development, without affecting other quality parameters such as total soluble solids and fruit acidity. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed that concentrations of anthocyanins and flavonols were enhanced in the peel after PDJ treatments, particularly when a concentration of 100 mg L-1 was used, whereas those of hydroxycinnamates and flavanols were decreased. After PDJ application, the transcription levels of anthocyanin biosynthesis genes PAL, CHS, CHI, ANS, F3H, and UFGT were enhanced, especially under the higher PDJ concentration tested. In addition, anthocyanin accumulation in the peels of PDJ-treated fruits was found to be positively correlated with the upregulation of the regulatory gene MYB114. CONCLUSION Preharvest treatments with PDJ could be a useful tool to improve fruits coloring and increase phenolic content in pear. These findings also improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with PDJ-regulated anthocyanin accumulation in pear fruits.
