Two monolignoid biosynthetic genes 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) and p-coumaric acid 3-hdroxylase (C3H) involved in lignin accumulation in pear fruits

Epub 2023 Jul 10.ABSTRACTOne of the most important factors impacting the quality of pear fruit is the presence of stone cells and lignin. Lignin is the main component of stone cells in pear fruits. Two monolignoid biosynthetic genes 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) and p-coumaric acid 3-hdroxylase (C3H) are involved in lignin accumulation in pear fruits. However, the functions of these genes in lignin biosynthesis were excluded in pear. In our study, we isolated and cloned Pb4CL11 (GenBank: KM455955.1) and PbC3H1 (GenBank: KM373790.1) from...

PearMODB: a multiomics database for pear (Pyrus) genomics, genetics and breeding study
AbstractPear (Pyrus ssp.) belongs to Rosaceae and is an important fruit tree widely cultivated around the world. Currently, challenges to cope with the burgeoning sets of multiomics data are rapidly increasing. Here, we constructed the Pear Multiomics Database (PearMODB) by integrating genome, transcriptome, epigenome and population variation data, and aimed to provide a portal for accessing and analyzing pear multiomics data. A variety of online tools were built including gene search, BLAST, JBrowse, expression heatmap, synteny analysis and primer design. The information of DNA methylation sites and single-nucleotide poly...

Low temperatures inhibit the pectin degradation of 'Docteur Jules Guyot' pear (Pyrus communis L.)
In this study, the fruit firmness, pectin polysaccharide content, pectin-degrading enzyme activity, and pectin degradation gene expression of 'Docteur Jules Guyot' pears under low temperature (LT) and room temperature (RT) were analyzed. It was found that water-soluble pectin (WSP) was significantly negatively correlated with fruit flesh firmness, and the activities of several pectin-degrading enzymes were inhibited under LT storage conditions. In addition, it was also found that the gene expression patterns of PcPME2, PcPME3, PcPG1, PcPG2, PcPL, PcGAL1, PcGAL2, PcGAL4, and PcARF1 were inhibited by LT. The C-repeat binding...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 3862: Bioactive Compounds and Sensory Analysis of Freeze-Dried Prickly Pear Fruits from An Inter-Andean Valley in Peru
The objective of this research was to evaluate the bioactive compounds and the sensory analysis of freeze-dried prickly pear fruits from an inter-Andean valley in Peru. The prickly pear fruits of the morada, anaranjada, and blanca ecotypes came from an inter-Andean valley in Peru at 2972 m altitude. The sliced fruits were freeze-dried at −40 °C and 0.25 mTorr, and the total polyphenol content (TPC), vitamin C, and antioxidant activity (AA) were determined, as well as the color L* a* b*, color index (CI*), FTIR spectra, and mineral content. In the same way, sensory analysis of preferences with nine...

Chitosan and chitooligosaccharide regulated reactive oxygen species homeostasis at wounds of pear fruit during healing
In this study, the wounded pear fruit (Pyrus bretschneideri cv. Dongguo) was treated with a 1 g L-1 CTS and COS. We found CTS and COS treatments increased NADPH oxidase and superoxide dismutase activities, and promoted O2.- and H2O2 production at wounds. CTS and COS also enhanced the activities of catalase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase, and elevated the levels of ascorbic acid and glutathione. In addition, the two chemicals improved antioxidant capacity in vitro and maintained cell membrane integrity at fruit wounds during healing. T...
