Abstract:

The aim of this trial is to investigate the physiological and molecular mechanisms of pineapple responding to anti-chilling by gauze covering practices(FH)through the gene expression and metabolite differences analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics compared with no covering control(CK). The results of transcriptomics indicated that 1 125 differential expressed genes were detected in FH,including 417 up-regulated genes and 708 down-regulated genes,when compared with CK. The differential expressed genes were mainly enriched in 4 KEGG pathways including starch and sucrose metabolism,protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum,phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and amino acid biosynthesis. Nineteen differential expressed genes were found to be related to cold resistance,including a few of transcription factors named WRKYMYB and bHLH as well as some enzyme genes named ERD6-like and β-glucosidase. Metabolome profiling suggested that a total of 151 differential metabolites were detected in FH group,including 57 and 94 up-regulated and down-regulated ones when compared with CK,respectively. The differential metabolites were mainly enriched in the 4 metabolic pathways including purine and pyrimidine metabolism,amino acid metabolism,lipids metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis. A total of 26 differential metabolites were found to be involved in cold resistance,including flavonoids,amino acids,polyamine,lipids and carbohydrates. The results of this study reveal that that pineapple growth and safe overwintering may be regulated by affecting its differential gene expression and metabolite changes while using black gauze covering,which lays a foundation in guiding the pineapple anti-chilling in winter and digging the function genes of pineapple resistant to cold.
