摘要：

香气是菊花的关键品质性状之一。为探究菊花挥发性物质的差异积累及其生物合成机制，本研究以菊花品种‘粉妍’及其突变体为材料，采用顶空固相微萃取—气相色谱—质谱联用（HS-GC-MS）、转录组测序以及实时荧光定量PCR（RT-qPCR）等技术，系统分析了二者挥发性成分的差异，并筛选相关萜烯合酶基因。研究发现，在两者挥发性物质中检测到56种共有成分，均以萜烯类化合物为主，分别在‘粉妍’和其突变体中鉴定出6种和9种特有成分。结合转录组与RT-qPCR分析，共发现6个差异表达的萜烯合酶基因，3个上调、3个下调。其中，萜烯合酶7（Terpene synthase 7，c25536.graph_c0）表达量最高且差异显著，推测其为调控萜烯类化合物差异积累的关键基因。

Abstract:

Aroma is one of the key quality traits of chrysanthemum. To investigate the differential accumulation of volatile compounds and their biosynthetic mechanisms in chrysanthemum，this study used the chrysanthemum cultivar‘Pink Yan’and its mutant as materials. Techniques including headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-GC-MS），transcriptome sequencing，and quantitative real-time PCR（RT-qPCR）were employed to systematically analyze differences in volatile components and screen related terpene synthase genes. The research showed 56 common components were detected in the volatile substances of the two，mainly terpenes，and 6 and 9 unique components were identified in‘Pink Yan’and mutant. Integrated transcriptome and RT-qPCR analyses revealed six differentially expressed terpene synthase genes，three of which were up-regulated and three down-regulated. Among them，Terpene synthase 7 gene（c25536.graph_c0）showed the highest expression level and significant differential expression，suggesting it may be a key gene regulating the differential accumulation of terpenoid compounds.
