Formation of Flesh Texture and Adhesion and Expression Analysis of Related Genes in Peach Fruit

doi:10.7668/hbnxb.201751738

Abstract

Abstract: The fruits of peach varieties Okubo, 08-9-106 and 08-9-107 were used as materials to analyze the fruit mesocarp firmness, flesh adhension, ethylene content, and related gene expression during the late fruit development period. The results showed that in Okubo, the flesh firmness decreased rapidly, and the accumulation of ethylene increased greatly, while the expression of PpPG, PpACS1, and PpYUC11 increased first and then decreased. In peach 08-9-106, the flesh firmness decreased rapidly, but there were no significant increase of ethylene and related gene(PpACS1 and PpYUC11) expression. Compared with Okubo and 08-9-106, 08-9-107 had no significant increase in ethylene and gene expression, which might result in the fruit firmness. Based on the flesh near endocarp, the Okubo was characterized as freestone, with higher ethylene content and increased gene expression obviously(mainly PpACS1). 08-9-106 was also classified as freestone peach, which had no obvious ehtylene release and gene expression activation. 08-9-107 was clingstone, and exhibited the similar characters with 08-9-106, except its higher gene expression of PpACO1 and PpYUC11. The above results suggested that Okubo and 08-9-107 were freestone-melting type and clingstone stony-hard type, respectively, which responded to ethylene. 08-9-106 was freestone melting flesh phenotype, with no response to ethylene. The changes of flesh firmness and the formation of adhesion trait in peach fruits were both related to gene expression of PpPG. PpACS1 (not the PpACO1) was the most essential gene in regulating the ethylene accumulation of the three peach germplasms.
