Light is an important external environment factor which influences all aspects of plant growth and development, including fruit ripening. Transcription regulation of light will provide insights into effect of light for fruit ripening. In this study, we treat grape and tomato fruit with dark or light, and by the RNA-seq method, compare transcriptional level between dark-treated and light-treated fruits. Additionally, we analyzed the metabolome of freshly cut fruit samples in two-treated conditions. In this study, transcriptomic and metabonomic analyses were used to evaluate the effects of shading on the ripening of different climacteric types of fruits (tomato and grape). we showed that shading treatment could inhibited fruit development by down-regulating factors related to fruit ripening-related growth and development. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from treated or non-treated samples with dark were mainly enriched in sugar metabolism and signal transduction, plant hormone biosynthesis and secondary metabolism. At the same time, we used metabonomics to detect different secondary metabolites in tomato and grape. Based on the above data, we established a possible model of shading treatment regulating fruit quality of tomato and grape. We found that the expression of DEGs in sugar metabolism and signal transduction, plant hormone biosynthesis and secondary metabolism differ between tomato and grape after shading treatment, which helps to clarify the possible mechanism of how the response to light in climacteric and non-climacteric fruit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
