Abstract

Korla fragrant pear (P. sinkiangensis Yü) is a landrace selected from a hybrid pear species of Xinjiang Autonomous Region in China. However, recently the formation of rough skin fruits is one of the main factors reducing fruit quality. In this study, parallel analyses of transcriptomic and proteomic data of Korla pear fruits from the three developmental stages (20, 50 and 80 days after flowering, DAF) were carried out by using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and tandem mass tags technology (TMT), to identify differential genes and proteins that may regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation during stone cell differentiation period. In total, 42893 transcripts and 7904 proteins were acquired. Among them, 74 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 40 correlated proteins were identified as ROS related genes and proteins, including 15 differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs). These include genes and proteins related to the ROS production in the apoplast (24 DEGs and seven DAPs), mitochondria (23 DEGs and two DAPs), peroxisome (10 DEGs and four DAPs), and during fatty acid degradation (15 DEGs and two DAPs), respectively. All of DEGs and DAPs that related to apoplastic ROS production and some of DEGs and DAPs that related to ROS production in peroxisome and fatty acid metabolism pathways were abundantly expressed during the critical period of stone cell differentiation (20 DAF). To sum up, apoplast might be the main source of ROS production that participate in the process of stone cell differentiation in pear fruits. In addition, peroxisome and fatty acid metabolism pathways also produce certain amount of ROS during this process.
