番茄的口感品质是消费者关注的核心,其口感主要由可溶性糖、有机酸及游离氨基酸的动态平衡决定。本研究以口感番茄(CX)和菜用番茄(N70)为材料,系统分析了二者在可溶性糖(葡萄糖、果糖)、有机酸(柠檬酸、苹果酸等)及游离氨基酸(谷氨酸、γ-氨基丁酸等)的含量差异,并利用转录组学技术解析其分子调控机制。结果表明,CX的葡萄糖和果糖含量显著高于N70,CX的柠檬酸、琥珀酸等有机酸含量同样显著更高,且鲜味氨基酸(谷氨酸、天冬氨酸)及γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)的含量同样显著更高。转录组分析发现,共发现差异表达基因(4242个),KEGG富集于淀粉蔗糖代谢、果糖甘露糖代谢及谷胱甘肽代谢通路,其中编码葡萄糖苷酶(EG)、苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)及谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GST)等酶的基因在CX中高表达,直接关联其糖酸协同积累与氨基酸含量。本研究揭示了口感番茄品质形成的分子基础,为口感番茄的定向育种提供了理论依据与候选基因资源。
The taste quality of tomato is the core of consumer"s attention, and its taste is mainly determined by the dynamic balance of soluble sugars, organic acids and free amino acids. In this study, the differences in the contents of soluble sugars (glucose, fructose), organic acids (citric acid, malic acid, etc.) and free amino acids (glutamic acid, γ-aminobutyric acid, etc.) between Tasty Tomato(CX) and Vegetable Tomato(N70) were systematically analysed and the molecular regulatory mechanisms were investigated using transcriptomics technology. The results showed that the content of glucose and fructose in CX was significantly higher than that of N70, and the content of organic acids such as citric acid and succinic acid, as well as the content of flavour amino acids (glutamic acid and aspartic acid) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in CX was also significantly higher. Transcriptome analysis revealed a total of 4,242 differentially expressed genes (KEGG) enriched in starch-sucrose metabolism, fructose-mannose metabolism, and glutathione metabolism pathways, and among them, genes encoding enzymes such as glucosidase (EG), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) were highly expressed in CX, which were directly associated with the synergistic accumulation of sugar-acid and amino acid contents. This study reveals the molecular basis of the quality formation of Tasty Tomato, and provides a theoretical basis and candidate gene resources for directional breeding of Tasty Tomato.
