摘要:

旨在基于代谢组与转录组联合分析,阐明不同颜色鲜食玉米籽粒花青素的组分差异及其分子调控机制,为彩色鲜食玉米分子育种提供候选基因与理论依据。以白色WN2000、黄色HN、彩色CN1和黑色HTN188为材料,综合采用代谢组学鉴定花青素相关代谢物并筛选差异代谢物,结合转录组测序获得差异表达基因(DEGs),通过GO注释与KEGG通路富集解析代谢—基因关联,并在花青素生物合成通路中挖掘关键结构基因与转录调控因子。结果表明,代谢组共鉴定49种花青素类代谢物,HTN188中矢车菊素、芍药素和天竺葵素等主要花青素显著积累,表现出更强的色素沉积特征。转录组共获得12 557个DEGs,其中F3H、DFR、UFGT等结构基因及MYB、bHLH等转录因子在高花青素品种中显著上调。相关性分析显示,基因Zm00001d011438的表达量与总花色素苷含量呈显著正相关,提示其可能在籽粒花青素积累中发挥关键作用。综上,基于代谢组与转录组联合分析,描述了不同颜色鲜食玉米籽粒花青素组成及相关基因表达差异,筛选出与花青素生物合成通路相关的结构基因、转录因子及候选基因Zm00001d011438,为后续功能验证与遗传改良研究提供参考。

Abstract:

This study aimed to elucidate the compositional differences and molecular regulatory mechanisms of anthocyanins in kernels of fresh-eating maize with different colors by integrating metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses,thereby providing candidate genes and a theoretical basis for molecular breeding of colored fresh-eating maize.White WN2000,yellow HN,colored CN1,and black HTN188 were used as materials.Metabolomics was employed to identify anthocyanin-related metabolites and screen differential metabolites;transcriptome sequencing was conducted to obtain differentially expressed genes(DEGs).Metabolite gene associations were analyzed through GO annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment,and key structural genes and transcriptional regulators were mined within the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway.The results showed that 49 anthocyanin-related metabolites were identified in total.Major anthocyanins,including cyanidin,peonidin,and pelargonidin,accumulated significantly in HTN188,indicating stronger pigment deposition.Transcriptome analysis identified 12 557 DEGs,among which structural genes such as F3H,DFR,and UFGT,as well as transcription factors including MYB and bHLH,were significantly up-regulated in varieties with high anthocyanin content.Correlation analysis revealed that the expression level of Zm00001d011438 was significantly and positively correlated with total anthocyanin content,suggesting that it may play a key role in kernel anthocyanin accumulation.Overall,the integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses characterized differences in anthocyanin composition and related gene expression among differently colored fresh-eating maize kernels,and identified structural genes,transcription factors,and the candidate Zm00001d011438 associated with the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway,providing references for subsequent functional validation and genetic improvement.
