Abstract:

Three different superior individuals of Loropetalum plants were used as research materials in this study. The phytochemical mechanism of leaf coloration of L. chinense var. rubrum was investigated with RHSCC colorimetric card colorimetry,spectrophotometer detection method,leaf anatomical structure characteristic,the measurement of pigments content,UPLC-MS/MS technology plus with MetWare metabolism self-built plant-specific DataBase(MWDB)and public metabolite information platform. The results indicated that the leaf color was significant difference among the three different superior individuals. The anthocyanins was distributed in palisade tissue,spongy tissue,accessory cells and lower epidermis of L. chinense var. rubrum. The high ratio of total anthocyanins and chlorophyll content in the leaves was responsible for the red colored leaves of L. chinense var. rubrum. And then a total of 185 flavonoids were identified by UPLC-MS/MS,including 15 anthocyanins,7 isoflavones,104 flavones,20 flavanones and 39 flavonols. And 22 polyphenol acids including of 19 phenolic acids and three proanthocyanidins were also identified together. The 13 anthocyanins,which are belonging to glycosides of peonidin,delphinidin,cyanidin,malvidin and petunidin are the main phytochemicals of leaf pigments in L. chinense var. rubrum. The significant differences in the contents of non-anthocyanins polyphenols such as flavones,flavonols,flavanones,isoflavones,phenolic acids and proanthocyanidins in the leaves of L. chinense var. rubrum,are the auxiliary pigments of leaf coloration difference. It is also the important secondary metabolites for the color difference among dissimilar cultivars(lines)of L. chinense var. rubrum.

Key words: Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum, flavonoids, leaf color, metabonomics
