Melatonin treatment triggered lignification and increased lignin content in tea leaves, but the effect attenuated over time. Transcriptome sequencing revealed up-regulation of key genes involved in lignin biosynthesis pathway under melatonin treatment. Transcription factor genes like MYB may play important roles in lignin metabolism in response to melatonin.
Melatonin (MT) is a bioactive molecule that can regulate various developmental processes. Changes in lignin content play important roles in plant growth and development. Herein, quantitative analysis and histochemical staining showed that lignin content significantly increased over time, and melatonin treatment triggered the lignification at 8 and 16 din tea leaves. The POD activity participated in lignin formation had also been significantly improved. The effect of melatonin on the increase of lignin content was attenuation over time. Sequencing results based on transcriptome at 8 and 16 d showed that 5273 and 3019 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in CK1 vs. MT1 and CK2 vs. MT2, respectively. A total of 67 DEGs were annotated to lignin biosynthesis, and 38 and 9 genes were significantly up-regulated under melatonin treatment, respectively. Some transcription factor genes such as MYB were also identified among the two pairwise comparisons, which might relate to lignin metabolism. Melatonin increased the degree of lignification in tea leaves by modifying the enzyme genes expression involved in lignin synthesis pathway. These results provide a reference for further study on the molecular mechanism of the dynamic changes of lignin content induced by melatonin treatment in tea plants. ? 2021 Elsevier B.V.
