摘要:

光是调控园艺作物果实发育的核心环境信号。目前,光信号调控果实发育的研究已经系统揭示了光受体(光敏色素、隐花色素、UVR8)通过核心转录因子(HY5、PIFs、COP1、BBX等)网络介导的分子通路,以及光质、光强、光周期对果实色泽、糖酸比、香气和重量等品质性状的特异性调控机制。本文综述了光信号在果实发育关键阶段的调控作用,重点涵盖其对果实早期发育过程的调控,以及在果实成熟进程中对果实品质形成的调控机制;同时重点总结了光信号通过调控乙烯、脱落酸和茉莉酸的相关通路,并与生长素和赤霉素等激素形成协同与拮抗调控网络,从而协调果实成熟进程与品质形成的分子与生理机制;讨论了不同光质、光强与光周期对果实发育的调控效应具有物种特异性与剂量依赖性。当前研究虽已揭示光信号调控果实发育的部分核心分子机制,但对于果实不同发育阶段的分子调控开关、多种光因子之间的协同量化模型、非模式园艺作物的独特机制及光信号与温度、水分和养分等其他环境因子协同调控等方面仍缺乏系统解析。未来可结合基因编辑与智能光控等技术,深入解析光信号整合多环境因子的分子机制,为设施园艺果实品质精准调控及作物遗传改良提供理论支撑,推动光调控技术标准化与规模化应用于优质果实生产。

Abstract:

Light is a core environmental signal regulating fruit development in horticultural crops. Research of light regulating fruit development has revealed molecular pathways of photoreceptors (phytochromes, cryptochromes, and UVR8) mediated by the network of core transcription factors (HY5, PIFs, COP1, BBX, etc.), and mechanism of light quality, light intensity, and photoperiod specifically regulating traits such as color, sugar-acid balance, aroma, and weight. This review summarizes the regulatory roles of light signaling at key stages of fruit development, with a particular focus on its regulation of early fruit developmental processes and its control of fruit quality formation during ripening. It further highlights how light signaling regulates ethylene, abscisic acid, and jasmonic acid pathways and forms synergistic and antagonistic networks with hormones such as auxin and gibberellin, thereby coordinating the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying fruit ripening and quality formation. It also notes that regulating effects of different light-quality, light intensity and photoperiod on fruit development are species-specific and dose-dependent. Although key molecular mechanisms of light signal regulating partially have been uncovered, it is still lack for system analysis on stage-specific molecular switches, quantitative models of multi-factor light interactions, unique mechanisms in non-model horticultural crops, and synergistical regulation of light with temperature, moisture, nutrients and other environmental factors. In future, integrating gene editing with intelligent light-control technologies, the molecular mechanism of light integrates multiple environmental signals can be dissected, which provides theoretical support for the precise regulation of fruit quality and crop genetic improvement in protected horticulture, and promote the standardization and large-scale application of light regulation technology in the production of high-quality fruits.
