Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Different Actinidia arguta Fruit Parts Reveals Difference of Light Response during Fruit Coloration

摘要

Kiwifruit (A. arguta) color is one of the most important quality characters. Exploring the coloration mechanism is significant for the genetic improvement of color quality and the breeding of new germplasms. As a critical environmental factor, light plays a key role in fruit coloration. However, the effecting mechanism of light on A. arguta coloration remains unclear. In current research, different A. arguta parts with different treatments were performed high throughput RNA sequencing, based on which candidate genes and corresponding annotations were obtained. Finally, AaMYB308like was screened as an R2R3-MYB typed TF involved in light-inducible fruit coloration through the result analysis of bioinformatics and molecular biology experiments. Our study provides insights into the photoreponse mechanisms in A. arguta coloration.
