Study Title | Assessment and partial characterization of candidate genes in dihydrochalcone and arbutin biosynthesis in an apple-pear hybrid by de novo transcriptome assembly |
Study Summary | The goal of the study was to determine the phenolic profile of young and old leaves, as well as fruit of apple (Malus x domestica), pear (Pyrus communis) and an intergeneric apple-pear hybrid. Three independent replicates were obtained for each genotype from the germplasm collection at Fondazione Edmund Mach (Italy) and analyzed by a targeted phenolic LC/MS-MS method. In addition, candidate genes from apple, pear and apple-pear hybrid retrieved from a de novo transcriptome assembly were expressed in E. coli and recombinant proteins were tested (in triplicate) to determine the conversion of hydroquinone to arbutin. Combining RNA-Seq, in silico functional annotation prediction, targeted gene expression analysis and expression – metabolite correlations with the data submitted to Metabolomics Workbench, we identified candidate genes for functional characterisation, resulting in the identification of active arbutin synthases in the hybrid and parental genotypes. We found that the putative arbutin synthases of pear (PcAS) and apple-pear hybrid (HybAS) were able to convert hydroquinone into arbutin. Interestingly, also one out of two putative arbutin synthases isolated from apple (MdAS1) could produce arbutin in vitro. However, the metabolomic profiling of phenolic compounds showed that apple lacks of arbutin and was found to accumulate the precursor hydroquinone in traces in young and old leaves of apple. Although quercetin was accumulated in similar amounts in the same tissues, a luminiscence-based assay showed that quercetin was converted only 25% compared to activity towards hydroquinone in the tested conditions. In summary, the metabolomic profiling submitted to Metabolomics workbench also shows that: 1) arbutin is accumulated mainly in young leaves of pear, followed by the apple-pear hybrid and was found in traces in apple fruit; 2) rutin was found mainly in pear and apple-pear hybrid tissues; 3) phenolic profile of apple is dominated by phloridzin and undetectable in all pear tissues analyzed, with young leaves being the tissue showing highest accumulation. |
