iTRAQ-Based Identification of Proteins Related to Lignin Synthesis in the Pear Pollinated with Pollen from Different Varieties

Most pears in Anhui Province are a kind of self-incompatible fruit whose quality is strongly influenced by the male pollen. The proteomic variation of Dangshan Su pollinated by different varieties was analysed using the isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to investigate the e...

description Most pears in Anhui Province are a kind of self-incompatible fruit whose quality is strongly influenced by the male pollen. The proteomic variation of Dangshan Su pollinated by different varieties was analysed using the isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to investigate the effect of pollination by different varieties on the pear lignin pathway. Among the 3980 proteins identified from the two samples, 139 proteins were identified as differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). Of these proteins, laccase-4 (LAC4), was found to be related with lignin synthesis, and β-glucosidase 15 (BGLU15) and peroxidase 47 (PER47) were involved in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Moreover, the lignin and stone cell contents were lower in DW (Dangshan Su pollinated by Wonhwang) than those in DJ (Dangshan Su pollinated by Jingbaili). The effect of pollination on the synthesis of lignin through the regulation of the expression of PER47, BGLU15 and LAC4 ultimately affects the formation of stone cells and the fruit quality. We report for the first time that different pollinations influence the protein expression profile in the Dangshan Su pear, and this result provides some new epididymal targets for regulating the synthesis of lignin, regulating the content of stone cells and improving the quality of the pears.
