Résumé

Prunus mume is an important medicinal plant with ornamental and edible value. Its flowers contain phenylpropanoids, flavonoids and other active components, that have important medicinal and edible value, yet their molecular regulatory mechanisms in P. mume remain unclear. In this study, the content of total flavonoid and total phenylpropanoid of P. mume at different developmental periods was measured first, and the results showed that the content of total flavonoid and total phenylpropanoid gradually decreased in three developmental periods. Then, an integrated analysis of transcriptome and metabolome was conducted on three developmental periods of P. mume to investigate the law of synthetic accumulation for P. mume metabolites, and the key enzyme genes for the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids and flavonoids were screened out according to the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A total of 14,332 DEGs and 38 differentially accumulate metabolites (DAMs) were obtained by transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis. The key enzyme genes and metabolites in the bud (HL) were significantly different from those in the half-opening (BK) and full-opening (QK) periods. In the phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, the ion abundance of chlorogenic acid, naringenin, kaempferol, isoquercitrin, rutin and other metabolites decreased with the development of flowers, while the ion abundance of cinnamic acid increased. Key enzyme genes such as HCT, CCR, COMT, CHS, F3H, and FLS positively regulate the downstream metabolites, while PAL, C4H, and 4CL negatively regulate the downstream metabolites. Moreover, the key genes FLS (CL4312-2, CL4312-3, CL4312-4, CL4312-5, CL4312-6) regulating the synthesis of flavonols are highly expressed in bud samples. The dynamic changes of these metabolites were validated by determining the content of 14 phenylpropanoids and flavonoids in P. mume at different developmental periods, and the transcription expression levels of these genes were validated by real-time PCR. Our study provides new insights into the molecular mechanism of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid accumulation in P. mume.
