Abstract:

In order to reduce the nitrate content of Brassica rapa L.ssp. chinensis L.,this study carried out nutrient-breaking treatment before the Brassica rapa L.ssp. chinensis L.was harvested.Physiological analysis of Brassica rapa L.ssp. chinensis L.nutrient-breaking treatment showed that Brassica rapa L.ssp.chinensis L.yield did not decrease significantly at 5 d,but the nitrate content of root,petiole and leaf decreased by 49.77%,23.90% and 33.39% respectively.Transcriptome comparison found that 301,2 270,and 2 271 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified in Brassica rapa L.ssp.chinensis L.root,petiole,and leaf at 5 d,respectively.The Gene Ontology(GO)analysis revealed that these DEGs were mainly enriched in nitrogen(N),carbon(C)and reactive oxygen species(ROS)metabolism.In the process of N metabolism,nitrate uptake transporter NPF7.2 genes were down-regulated expression in root,petiole and leaf.The upstream regulator ERF104 of NPF7.2 were down-regulated expression in petiole and leaf.Nitrate retransporter NPF2.13 and NPF1.1 genes were up-regulated expression in leaf.Nitrate assimilation key enzyme glutamine synthetase(GS)genes were up-regulated expression in root and leaf.In the process of C metabolism,the sucrose phosphate synthase(SPS)genes,a key enzyme for sucrose synthesis in petiole and leaf,were up-regulated expression.In the process of ROS metabolism,superoxide dismutase(SOD)and ascorbate peroxidase(APX)genes were up-regulated expression in root.The expression of cytochrome P450,peroxisome and lipoxygenase genes were down-regulated expression in petiole and leaf.Catalase(CAT)and peroxidase(POD)genes were up-regulated expression in leaf.In summary,the nutrient-breaking treatment 5 d before harvesting can not only ensure that the yield of Brassica rapa L.ssp.chinensis L.was not affected,but also improve the quality of Brassica rapa L.ssp.chinensis L..
