主 题:Pak choi melatonin transcriptome postharvest senescence
摘 要:Melatonin(MT)is a low molecular weight compound with a wide variety of biological functions in plants.It is known to delay senescence in various fruits and vegetables.This study demonstrates that MT(100μmol/L)delayed the senescence of pak choi stored at 20°C.A total of 1121 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified in an MT-treated group in comparison to untreated pak choi.Analysis of DEGs revealed that MT-induced delay in senescence involved reduction in the expression of chlorophyll metabolism genes and regulation of the expression of hormone-related genes and leaf senescence-related transcription factors.MT decreased the activity of chlorophyll metabolism-related enzymes Mg-dechelatase,pheophytinase,and pheide a oxygenase,decreased the concentrations of abscisic acid and jasmonic acid,and increased auxin concentration.MT delayed the impact of senescence-related transcription factors BcNAC41 and BcNAC87 on tobacco leaf senescence.This study provides an insight into the molecular mechanisms of MT-induced delay of postharvest senescence in pak choi and confirms its potential as a preservation technique.
