AbstractPassion fruit (Passiflora edulia Sims), an important tropical and sub-tropical species, is classified as a respiration climacteric fruit, the quality deteriorates rapidly after harvest. To reveal the mechanisms involved in ripening and rapidly fruit senescence, the phytochemical characteristics and RNA sequencing were conducted in the purple passion fruits with different (1-MCP and PF) treatment. Comprehensive functional annotation and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the starch and sucrose metabolism, plant hormone signal transduction, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonid biosynthesis, carotenoid biosynthesis were involved in fruit ripening. Applying with PF and 1-MCP significantly affected transcript levels of passion fruit after harvest storage. A large number of differently expressed unigenes (DEGs) were identified significantly enrichen in starch and sucrose metabolism, plant hormone signal transduction and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis at postharvest stage. The preservative film (PF) and 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatments increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) gene expression and enzyme activities, accelerated the lignin accumulation, decline β-galactosidase (β-Gal), polygalacturonase (PG) and cellulose activities and gene expression to delay cell wall degradation during fruit senescence. The RNA sequencing data of cell wall metabolism and hormone signal transduction pathway related unigenes were verified by RT-qPCR. The results indicated that the cell wall metabolism and hormone signal pathways were notably related to passion fruit ripening. PF and 1-MCP treatment might inhibited ethylene signaling and regulated cell wall metabolism pathways to inhibited cell wall degradation. Our results reveal ripening and senescence related networks during passion fruit ripening, which can provide a foundation for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying PF and 1-MCP treatment on fruit ripening.

The expression of genes for ethylene biosynthesis, ethylene perception, and cell wall degradation in the fruit cortex and fruit abscission zone (FAZ) was examined in relation to preharvest fruit abscission (PFA) and fruit ripening in ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Fuji’ apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). PFA, fruit ethylene production, and fruit softening increased rapidly during fruit ripening in ‘Golden Delicious’ apples, whereas no PFA, little fruit ethylene, and gradual fruit softening were recorded in ‘Fuji’ apples. The transcript levels of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase genes, MdACS1, MdACS3, and MdACS5A, increased rapidly in the fruit cortex of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples during ripening, but not in ‘Fuji’ apples. However, only the level of MdACS5A mRNA was up-regulated in the FAZ of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. The transcript level of ACC oxidase gene, MdACO1, increased in the fruit cortex for both cultivars but increased only in the FAZ of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. Expression of the ethylene receptor genes, MdETR1, MdETR2, MdERS1, and MdERS2, increased in the fruit cortex for both cultivars, but only MdETR2 and MdERS2 increased in the FAZ of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. The transcript levels of MdPG2, a polygalacturonase gene (PG), and MdEG1, a β-1,4-glucanase gene, markedly increased only in the FAZ of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples, whereas only MdPG1 rapidly increased in the fruit cortex of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. Our results suggested that MdACS5A, MdACO1, MdPG2, and MdEG1 in the FAZ might be related to the difference in PFA between these two cultivars, whereas MdACS1 and MdPG1 were associated with fruit softening.
