摘要:

目的 冷冻胁迫是限制桃树生长、果实品质和产量的主要环境因素之一。然而,关于桃树应对低温响应的分子机制目前仍知之甚少,探究低温胁迫下桃树氨基酸、碳水化合物及脂质代谢的动态重编程规律及其与抗寒性的分子关联,为抗寒分子育种及栽培技术优化提供理论支撑。 方法 以山桃(Prunus davidiana)为材料,采用梯度冷冻低温处理(5、-5、-15、-25 ℃),测定生理指标并结合转录组学与代谢组学的比较分析,通过整合生理生化测定、代谢组学和转录组学技术,系统解析其多组学调控网络。 结果 冷冻胁迫触发山桃脯氨酸与可溶性糖的积累,伴随丙二醛(MDA)含量及电解质渗漏率(EL)升高,表明细胞膜系统受损。代谢组学分析显示,低温下糖类及其衍生物显著富集,部分氨基酸减少,而三羧酸循环(TCA)相关有机酸(如2-氧代戊二酸、瓜氨酸)含量增加。黄酮类生物合成、精氨酸合成及氮代谢通路在胁迫中显著激活。转录组分析证实,葡萄糖苷酸生物合成相关基因在低温下表达显著上调,与代谢物变化协同响应冷冻胁迫,揭示山桃通过代谢‒基因网络调控增强抗寒能力的分子机制。 结论 揭示山桃应对冷冻胁迫时激活淀粉与蔗糖代谢、苯丙烷及黄酮类合成途径,筛选出21种关键代谢物和15个核心基因,阐明了抗冻代谢与基因调控协同机制。

Abstract:

Objective Freezing stress is one of the primary environmental factors limiting peach tree growth, fruit quality, and yield. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying peach tree responding to low-temperature stress remained poorly understood. This study investigated the dynamic reprogramming patterns of amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism in peach trees under low-temperature stress, and explored their molecular associations with cold resistance, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for molecular breeding for cold tolerance and the optimization of cultivation techniques. Method Using Prunus davidiana as experimental material, we implemented gradient freezing temperature treatments (5, -5, -15 and -25 ℃). Physiological indices were measured and integrated with transcriptomic and metabolomic comparative analyses. Through systematic integration of physiological-biochemical measurements, metabolomics, and transcriptomics technologies, we comprehensively analyzed the multi-omics regulatory networks. Result Freezing stress triggered the accumulation of proline and soluble sugars in P. davidiana, accompanied by increased malondialdehyde content and elevated electrolyte leakage rates, indicating damage to cellular membrane systems. Metabolomic analysis revealed significant enrichment of carbohydrates and derivatives under low-temperature conditions, partial amino acid reduction, while the content of tricarboxylic acid cycle-related organic acids (e.g., 2-oxoglutarate and citrulline) increased. Flavonoid biosynthesis, arginine synthesis, and nitrogen metabolism pathways were significantly activated during stress. Transcriptomic analysis confirmed the substantial upregulation of glucuronic acid biosynthesis-related genes under cold stress, demonstrating coordinated responses with metabolite changes to freezing stress. These results elucidated the molecular mechanism through which P. davidiana enhanced cold resistance via metabolic-gene network regulation. Conclusion This study reveals that P. davidiana activated starch and sucrose metabolism, as well as phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways in response to freezing stress. A total of 21 key metabolites and 15 core genes are identified, elucidating the coordinated mechanisms of metabolic and genetic regulation underlying cold resistance.
