摘要： Background Flesh is prone to accumulate more anthocyanin in postharvest 'Friar' plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) fruit stored at an intermediate temperature. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of anthocyanin accumulation regulated by storage temperature in postharvest plum fruit. Results To reveal the potential molecular regulation mechanism of anthocyanin accumulation in postharvest 'Friar' plum fruit stored at different temperatures (0 degrees C, 10 degrees C and 25 degrees C), the fruit quality, metabolite profile and transcriptome of its flesh were investigated. Compared to the plum fruit stored at 0 degrees C and 25 degrees C, the fruit stored at 10 degrees C showed lower fruit firmness after 14 days and reduced the soluble solids content after 21 days of storage. The metabolite analysis indicated that the fruit stored at 10 degrees C had higher contents of anthocyanins (pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinose), quercetin and sucrose in the flesh. According to the results of weighted gene coexpression correlation network analysis (WGCNA), the turquoise module was positively correlated with the content of anthocyanin components, and flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) and chalcone synthase (CHS) were considered hub genes. Moreover, MYB family transcription factor APL (APL), MYB10 transcription factor (MYB10), ethylene-responsive transcription factor WIN1 (WIN1), basic leucine zipper 43-like (bZIP43) and transcription factor bHLH111-like isoform X2 (bHLH111) were closely related to these hub genes. Further qRT-PCR analysis verified that these transcription factors were specifically more highly expressed in plum flesh stored at 10 degrees C, and their expression profiles were significantly positively correlated with the structural genes of anthocyanin synthesis as well as the content of anthocyanin components. In addition, the sucrose biosynthesis-associated gene sucrose synthase (SS) was upregulated at 10 degrees C, which was also closely related to the anthocyanin content of plum fruit stored at 10 degrees C. Conclusions The present results suggest that the transcription factors APL, MYB10, WIN1, bZIP43 and bHLH111 may participate in the accumulation of anthocyanin in 'Friar' plum flesh during intermediate storage temperatures by regulating the expression of anthocyanin biosynthetic structural genes. In addition, the SS gene may play a role in anthocyanin accumulation in plum flesh by regulating sucrose biosynthesis.
