Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of sugar metabolism of tomato fruits under water deficiency cultivated in substrate. One of taste tomato cultivars‘181’and one of ordinary tomato cultivars‘Maofen 802’were selected as materials in this experiment. Four water treatment levels (full water supply,mild water deficit,moderate water deficit and severe water deficit)were set up to study the effects of water deficit on sugar components,enzyme activities and relative gene expression in tomato fruits related to sugar metabolism at green ripening stage,color turning stage and mature stage under substrate cultivation in solar greenhouse. The results showed that the response of sugar component and starch content to water deficit was different between the two cultivars. Moderate water deficit could increase the fructose and glucose contents of‘181’while decrease sucrose and starch content of‘181’at every stage. Severe water deficit could increase the fructose and glucose contents of‘Maofen 802’and the sucrose content decreased with the decrease of irrigation amount. The activities of sucrose synthetase (SS),sucrose phosphate synthetase(SPS),α-Amylase(α-AYM)and β-Amylase(β-AYM)in tomato ‘181’and‘Maofen 802’at maturity increased with the decrease of irrigation amount,and the activities were the highest under severe water deficit. Under severe water deficit,the relative expression levels of SS gene and SPS gene of the two tomato cultivars were up-regulated during color turning stage and mature stage. The α-AYM and β-AYM gene expression levels were up-regulated in green ripe stage under the water deficit. To sum up,moderate water deficit can promote the decomposition of sucrose and the production of fructose and glucose of substrate-grown tomatoes in greenhouse,ultimately improve the flavor quality of tomatoes.
