摘要:

秋石斛是重要的热带兰切花和盆花产品,但大多商业品种缺乏香气。以秋石斛芳香品种‘红珍珠’和非芳香品种‘迷你’为试验材料进行代谢组学和转录组研究,根据加权基因共表达网络分析和两组学联合分析筛选差异表达基因,并采用实时荧光定量PCR验证关键基因表达模式。结果表明,在鉴定的挥发性代谢物中,萜类化合物种类(159种)和含量最为丰富。相对气味活度值(rOAV)分析表明芳樟醇、3,6-壬二烯醛、2-戊基呋喃等化合物对‘红珍珠’花香贡献显著,这些化合物的香气被描述为花香、草香、果香。‘红珍珠’盛花期特异积累芳樟醇、茶螺烷等单萜类物质,而‘迷你’则以倍半萜类为主,因此,特定的单萜而非萜类总含量与‘红珍珠’的愉悦香气密切相关。秋石斛花香形成伴随着萜类生物合成通路基因的协同上调表达。筛选出11个花香核心候选基因,编码萜类合酶、S-芳樟醇合酶、倍半萜合酶等。这些基因在‘迷你’中表达量极低,在‘红珍珠’中的表达量随花发育显著上调,在盛花期最高,且与关键萜类代谢物积累显著正相关;RT-qPCR验证结果与转录组数据一致。关键萜类合成候选基因在花发育后期特异高表达是芳香秋石斛香气形成的重要分子机制。

Abstract:

Phalaenopsis-Type Dendrobium hybrids(Den-Phals)have high ornamental value,but most cultivars lack floral fragrance. Using the aromatic cultivar D.‘Udomsri Beauty’(HZZ)and the non-aromatic cultivar D. Yaya Victoria(MN)as experimental materials,metabolomics analysis and transcriptome sequencing were conducted. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis and integrated analysis of both omics datasets were performed to screen differentially expressed genes, and real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)was used to validate the expression patterns of key genes. The results showed that among the identified volatile metabolites,terpenoids were the most abundant in both variety(159 kinds)and content. Relative odor activity value(rOAV)analysis identified compounds such as linalool,3,6-nonadienal,and 2-pentylfuran,were described as having floral,green,and fruity scent characteristics-as significant contributors to the floral fragrance of HZZ. The fragrant HZZ specifically accumulated monoterpenes like linalool and theaspirane during full-bloom stage, whereas the non-fragrant MN primarily accumulated sesquiterpenes. Specific monoterpenes,rather than total terpene content,are closely associated with the pleasant fragrance of Den-Phals. The formation of fragrance in Den-Phals was accompanied by coordinated upregulation of genes in the terpenoid biosynthesis pathway. Further analysis identified 11 core candidate genes(e.g.,genes encoding terpene synthase,S-linalool synthase,sesquiterpene synthase,etc.)with very low expression in MN,while their expression in HZZ significantly increased during flower development,peaking at full-bloom stage,and showed a significant positive correlation with the accumulation of key terpenoid metabolites. RT-qPCR validation confirmed consistency with the transcriptome data. The specific high expression of key terpenoid synthesis candidate genes during the late developmental stages of the fragrant cultivar is an important molecular mechanism underlying fragrance formation in Den-Phals.
