Abstract:

In order to explore the major metabolites and the key anthocyanin synthase(ANS)genes which affecting the seed testa color in peanut,here,5 peanut varieties(lines)with different seed testa color were employed to determine the main anthocyanin metabolite,expression pattern of ANS family genes as well as their correlations in seed testa. The results showed that a total of 19 anthocyanin glycosides which belonged to 3 categories were detected in the seed testa of 5 peanut varieties(lines). Meanwhile,a total of 17 anthocyanin glycosides were found in the black seed testa,while only 4 anthocyanin glycosides were detected in white seed testa,indicating that the number of anthocyanin glycosides were gradually increased accompanying the deepening of seed testa color. In addition,the expression analysis of the 5 ANS genes showed that only Ahy_Scaffold1g106620 was highly expressed,while,the other 4 genes were almost not expressed or had a low expression. Furthermore,the expression level of Ahy_Scaffold1g106620 was significantly increased accompanying the deepening of seed testa color,suggesting that Ahy_Scaffold1g106620 was a key gene in regulating of anthocyanin synthesis. Further correlation analysis revealed that Ahy_Scaffold1g106620 was significantly and positively correlated with 12 of the 19 glycosides with correlation coefficients ranged from 0.54 to 0.82. However,Ahy_A02g006729 showed significant correlation with only 3 anthocyanin glycosides,and the other 3 genes had no correlation with anthocyanin content in seed testa. These results demonstrated that Ahy_Scaffold1g106620,a member of ANS gene family,was the vital regulatory gene in accumulating anthocyanin. In summary,all these results preliminarily discovered the main metabolites and key regulatory genes of ANS family that affect the seed testa color in peanut.
