Abstract:

To explore the molecular mechanism of leaf color changes in the mosaic mutants of Heliopsis helianthoides, green leaf plants (GL) and mosaic leaf mutants (WL) were used as materials to compare their leaf phenotypic changes, and high-throughput sequencing technology was used for transcriptome sequencing analysis. The further validation was carried out by quantitative PCR technology. The results showed that the WL leaves significantly shortened and narrowed with white color between the leaf veins, leaf color RHS was 155A, and 137C in GL; the SPAD of WL leaves was only 25.85% of GL. A total of 2098 differentially expressed genes were obtained from transcriptome sequencing, among them 1172 were up-regulated and 926 were down-regulated in WL. 23 known genes were expressed differently, including light harvesting pigment protein complex LHC family genes, photosystem structural proteins genes PsaK and psbP. KEGG Pathway was the pathway of photosynthetic antenna protein, photosynthetic electron transfer and photophosphorylation. The molecular information of the mosaic leaf mutants of Heliopsis helianthoides was obtained at the transcription level in this study, laying the foundation for in-depth exploration of the genetic mechanism of leaf color mutation.
