RESULTS: Upregulation of genes related to photosynthesis and heat shock proteins confirmed that M weakened the total light exposure and grapes suffered heat stress, resulting in lower sugar-acid ratio at harvest. Key genes responsible for enhancements in phenylalanine, glutamine, ornithine, arginine, and C6 alcohol concentrations, and the downward trend in ε-viniferin, anthocyanins, flavonols, terpenes, and norisoprenoids in M grapes were identified. In addition, several modules significantly correlated with the metabolic biomarkers through weighted correlation network analysis, and the potential key transcription factors regulating the above metabolites including VviGATA11, VviHSFA6B, and VviWRKY03 were also identified.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a valuable overview of metabolic and transcriptomic responses of M grapes in semi-arid climates, which could facilitate understanding the complex regulatory network of metabolites in response to microclimate changes.
结果:与光合作用和热休克蛋白相关的基因上调证实,M减弱了总光照,葡萄遭受了热胁迫,导致收获时糖酸比降低。负责增强苯丙氨酸的关键基因,谷氨酰胺,鸟氨酸,精氨酸和C6酒精浓度,和ε-葡萄藤素的下降趋势,花青素,黄酮醇,萜烯,并鉴定了M葡萄中的降异戊二烯类。此外,通过加权相关网络分析,几个模块与代谢生物标志物显着相关,以及调节上述代谢物的潜在关键转录因子,包括VviGATA11,VviHSFA6B,和VviWRKY03也被鉴定。
结论:这项研究提供了半干旱气候下M葡萄的代谢和转录响应的有价值的概述,这可以促进理解代谢产物响应小气候变化的复杂调节网络。
