MYB、bHLH和WD40转录因子在高等植物中发挥核心调控作用,包括次级代谢途径(如花青素与原花青素代谢)、表皮细胞形态发育(如花瓣表皮细胞分化、毛状体形成)及环境响应。兰科植物具有多样花色、丰富花香和特化花部结构,这些性状对吸引传粉者以促进繁殖成功至关重要,也是其观赏价值与经济潜力的重要基础。近年来,研究者对兰科植物花色形成及花香合成相关代谢物的分子调控机制研究不断深入。本文系统梳理了MYB、bHLH和WD40参与兰科植物花色与花香形成调控机理的研究进展,重点综述(1)花色素类型与花香味成分的次生代谢途径;(2)MYB-bHLH-WD40复合体调控花色花香代谢的分子机制,为兰科植物花部综合性状的分子机理解析及观赏性状分子改良提供理论支持与方向。
The MYB, bHLH, and WD40 transcription factors play central regulatory roles in higher plants, including in secondary metabolic pathways (such as anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis), epidermal cell morphogenesis (such as petal epidermal cell differentiation and trichome formation), and responses to environmental stimuli. Orchidaceae species exhibit diverse floral colors, rich floral scents, and specialized floral structures. These traits are crucial for attracting pollinators and ensuring reproductive success, and they also form the basis of the ornamental value and economic potential of orchids. In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying floral color formation and floral scent biosynthesis in orchids. This review systematically summarizes recent research on the roles of MYB, bHLH, and WD40 transcription factors in the regulation of floral color and scent in orchids, with a focus on: (1) the secondary metabolic pathways involved in pigment biosynthesis and volatile compound production; and (2) the molecular mechanisms by which the MYB-bHLH-WD40 complex regulates floral pigment and scent metabolism. This work aims to provide theoretical support and guidance for elucidating the molecular basis of integrated floral traits in orchids and for the molecular improvement of their ornamental characteristics.
