Variation in the Calyx Color in Two Styrax japonicus Varieties Is Attributed to Varied Anthocyanin Levels as Revealed by Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analyses
Styrax japonicus is a small ornamental tree with medicinal value. An S. japonicus variety with purplish red calyxes and white petals has higher ornamental value. The mechanism underlying calyx pigmentation in S. japonicus is still unclear. In this study, metabolome data combined with transcriptome profiling were used to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the difference in the color of calyx in two varieties of S. japonicus, namely, Red Linglong (RA; purplish red calyx) and Green Linglong (GA; green calyx). The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis indicated that the levels of delphinidin 3,5-diglucoside, delphinidin 3-O-glucoside, and malvidin 3-O-glucoside when enriched in delphinidin biosynthesis were significantly higher in the RA calyx than in the GA calyx. These key differentially accumulated metabolites were highly correlated with five late biosynthetic genes that were enriched in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway. MYB1, MYB82, and MYB113 were the three probable transcription factors responsible for anthocyanin accumulation. This study provides novel insights into secondary metabolism pathways, their regulators, and the changes in the transcription and metabolite levels in the calyx of S. japonicus regulating sepal color. The results provide a theoretical basis for exploring the mechanism of calyx color formation in S. japonicus and provide genetic material and a reference for molecular breeding to obtain desired flower colors in the future.
