Abstract
AbstractChlorophyll loss is a major problem during green vegetable storage. However, the molecular mechanism is still unclear. In this study, a 21 days of storage experiments showed chlorophyll content was higher in light-stored Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.) leaves than those in dark-stored samples. Transcriptome analyses were performed on these samples to determine the effects of light. Among 311 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), early light-induced protein 1 (ELIP1) was identified as the main control gene for chlorophyll synthesis. Tissues and subcellular localization indicated that ELIP1 was localized in the nucleus. Motifs structure analyses, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, luciferase reporter assays, and overexpression experiments demonstrated that ELIP1 regulated the expressions of genomes uncoupled 4 (GUN4), Glutamyl-tRNA reductase family protein (HEMA1), and Mg-protoporphyrin IX methyltransferase (CHLM) by binding to G-box-like motifs and affected chlorophyll biosynthesis during the storage of Chinese cabbage. It is a possible common tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway for chlorophylls, hemes, and bilin pigments in photosynthetic organisms. Our research also revealed that white light can be used as a regulatory factor to improve the storage ability and extent shelf life of Chinese cabbage.
