摘要： Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an important antioxidant for human health. The concept of "oil-vegetable-duel-purpose" can significantly enhance the economic benefits of the rapeseed industry. Rapeseed, when utilized as a vegetable, serves as a valuable food source of AsA. In this study, we integrated transcriptome and metabolome analyses, along with substrate feeding, to identify the L-galactose pathway as the primary source for AsA production, which is primarily regulated by light. Through seven different photoperiod treatments from 12 h/12 h (light/dark) to 24 h/0 h, we found that AsA content increased with longer photoperiods, as well as chlorophyll, carotenoids, and soluble sugars. However, an excessively long photoperiod led to photooxidative stress, which negatively affected biomass accumulation in rapeseed seedlings and subsequently impacted the total accumulation of AsA. Furthermore, different enzymes respond differently to different photoperiods. Analysis of the correlation between the expression levels of AsA biosynthesis-related genes and AsA content highlighted a dynamic balancing mechanism of AsA metabolism in response to different photoperiods. The study revealed that the 16 h/8 h photoperiod is optimal for long-term AsA accumulation in rapeseed seedlings. However, extending the photoperiod before harvest can enhance AsA content without compromising yield. These findings offer novel insights into an effective strategy for the biofortification of AsA in rapeseed.
