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.
