Abstract 77

4-Hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF) is a major contributor to the aroma 78

of strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) fruit and the last step in its biosynthesis is 79

catalysed by Fragaria times ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR) Here an ethylene 80

response factor (FaERF9) was characterized as a positive regulator of the FaQR 81

promoter Linear regression analysis indicated that FaERF9 transcript levels were 82

significantly correlated with both FaQR transcripts and furanone content in different 83

strawberry cultivars Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry fruit 84

significantly increased FaQR expression and furaneol production Yeast one-hybrid 85

assays however indicated that FaERF9 by itself did not bind to the FaQR promoter 86

An MYB transcription factor (FaMYB98) identified in yeast one-hybrid screening of 87

the strawberry cDNA library was capable of both binding to the promoter and 88

activating the transcription of FaQR by ~56-fold Yeast two-hybrid assay and 89

bimolecular fluorescence complementation confirmed a direct protein-protein 90

interaction between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 and in combination they activated the 91

FaQR promoter 14-fold in transactivation assays These results indicate that an 92

ERF-MYB complex containing FaERF9 and FaMYB98 activates the FaQR 93

promoter and upregulates HDMF biosynthesis in strawberry 94

Introduction 96

Strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) is an economically important globally popular 97

and attractive fruit with nutritional benefits for human health An important feature of 98

its appeal is a unique fragrance with more than 360 different volatile compounds 99

detected in ripe fruit (Meacutenager 2004 Jetti et al 2007) These volatiles include 100

alcohols organic acids aldehydes terpenes lactones esters aromatic hydrocarbons 101

furans and others (Zabetakis and Holden 1997) Sensory evaluation indicates that 102

terpenes confer on strawberry a ldquofresh orangerdquo smell aldehydes generate a ldquoherbal 103

flavourrdquo γ -decalactone is ldquopeach-likerdquo esters are ldquofruityrdquo and 104

4-hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2)H-furanone (HDMF) and 105

25-dimethyl-4-methoxy-3(2)H-furanone (DMMF) generate a ldquocaramel-likerdquo aroma 106

(Pyysalo et al 1979 Larsen and Poll 1992) HDMF and DMMF belong to an 107

uncommon group of chemicals with a 25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone structure and 108

such compounds possess special odour properties (Schwab and Roscher 1997) They 109

are found at trace levels in various fruits including raspberry some grape cultivars 110

and tomato They are particularly abundant in strawberry and pineapple (Schwab 111

2013 Wuumlst 2017) HDMF is one of the most important volatiles distinguishing 112

strawberry from other fruits (Larsen and Poll 1992 Schwab and Roscher 1997) and 113

is significantly correlated with perceived strawberry fruit intensity (Schwieterman et 114

al 2014) Thus strawberry is an important model for investigating the regulation of 115

furaneol biosynthesis and knowledge of the factors controlling its synthesis is highly 116

desirable for targeting flavor improvement 117

118

HDMF and its methyl ether DMMF have been extensively investigated in research 119

on flavour analyses chemical synthesis and natural product formation in both 120

microbes and plants (Zabetakis et al 1999 Schwab 2013) The first plant studies on 121

the biosynthesis of HDMF used strawberry fruit to investigate potential precursors of 122

furaneol biosynthesis (Pisarnitskii et al 1992) and D-fructose-16-diphosphate was 123

identified as the natural precursor of HDMF and DMMF (Roscher et al 1998 124

Schwab 1998) The immediate precursor of HDMF in strawberry was shown to be 125

6

4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-methylene-3(2H)-furanone (HMMF) and Fragaria times 126

ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR later renamed as FaEO) was identified as 127

the enzyme responsible for reduction of the α β-unsaturated bond of HMMF to form 128

the aroma-active compound HDMF (Raab et al 2006 Klein et al 2007) An 129

O-methyltransferase FaOMT subsequently generates DMMF by methylation of 130

HDMF (Wein et al 2002) HDMF can also be metabolized to 131

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one glucoside (HDMF-glucoside) by a 132

UDP-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT71K3) and further malonylated into 133

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one 6rsquo-O-malonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (HDMF 134

malonyl-glucoside) in strawberry fruit (Roscher et al 1996 Song et al 2016) The 135

biosynthetic pathway of HDMF in other plants is similar to that in strawberry Genes 136

with homology to FaQR have been identified in tomato (SlEO) and mango (MIEO) 137

(Klein et al 2007 Kulkarni et al 2013) 138

139

As an NADH-dependent enone oxidoreductase protein FaQR exhibits o-quinone 140

oxidoreductase activity (Raab et al 2006) FaQR mRNA accumulates in fruit 141

parenchyma tissues but is absent in vascular tissues and FaQR is mainly expressed in 142

the late stages of fruit growth and ripening paralleling furaneol production in the fruit 143

(Raab et al 2006) FaQR is responsive to environmental stimuli associated with 144

furaneol production and in the dark lsquoSweet Charliersquo strawberry fruits have higher 145

levels of FaQR expression and HDMF production at 25degC than at 15degC (Fu et al 146

2017) in contrast the concentration of furanones and the abundance of FaQR protein 147

under low-temperature storage is significantly lower than those under 148

room-temperature storage (Li et al 2015) Thus the regulation of FaQR is important 149

for manipulating furaneol content Although it is assumed that transcription factors 150

control expressions of genes involved in volatile production in plants no such factors 151

regulating FaQR or other furanone biosynthetic genes have been identified 152

153

Different members of the largely plant-specific AP2ERF gene family (Weirauch and 154

Hughes 2011) have diverse functions in plant growth development and stress 155

responses (Agarwal et al 2010 Zhu et al 2010 Licausi et al 2013) In recent years 156

several AP2ERF genes have been reported to regulate aspects of fruit quality (Xie et 157

al 2016) including fruit aroma For example CitAP210 is associated with the 158

synthesis of (+)-valencene in Newhall orange acting via regulation of CsTPS1 (Shen 159

et al 2016) CitERF71 was shown to physically bind to the CsTPS16 promoter and 160

contribute to the synthesis of E-geraniol in citrus fruit (Li et al 2017) These 161

observations raised the possibility that FaQR might also be a target for a member of 162

the AP2ERF family and that ERFs might also control furaneol biosynthesis 163

164

In this study screening of the Fragaria times ananassa AP2ERF gene family led to 165

identification of FaERF9 as an activator of FaQR however it did not bind directly 166

to the promoter A parallel search for proteins that directly bind the FaQR promoter 167

using yeast one-hybrid screening identified a second factor FaMYB98 which was 168

capable of physically interacting with the FaQR promoter FaMYB98 physically 169

interacts with FaERF9 and transient expression assays demonstrated a synergistic 170

effect on FaQR expression and furanone synthesis 171

172

Results 173

Changes in the content of both furanones and the activity of their biosynthetic 174

genes in strawberry fruit 175

lsquoYuexinrsquo fruits at four developmental and ripening stages (G green T turning IR 176

intermediate red R full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and determination of HDMF 177

levels indicated a major increase from about 065 μg per gram fruit at the IR stage to 178

346 μg at the R stage in the apical section implying that furaneol accumulation was 179

closely related to colour change and ripening (Figure 1) Furaneol levels were higher 180

in the apical section than in the basal section HDMF could not be detected at the IR 181

stage in the basal section but the amount increased at the R stage to 142 μg per gram 182

fruit Differences were also found for DMMF with the relative content in the apical 183

section 018 μg per gram at the R stage compared to 008 μg per gram in the basal 184

section at the same stage 185

186

Measurement of mRNA levels by RT-qPCR indicated that the transcript levels of both 187

FaQR (GenBank AY1588361) and FaOMT (GenBank AF2204912) increased 188

throughout ripening (Figure 1) Comparison of the expression of these genes showed 189

that the transcript levels of FaQR and FaOMT significantly increased as early as in T 190

stage in basal fruit sections and for each gene over half of the peak transcript 191

abundance occurred as early as in IR stage in the apical section while for the basal 192

section it was in the R stage indicating a gradient of gene expression and volatile 193

production from apex to base of the fruit during ripening 194

195

Genome-wide identification of AP2ERF gene family in strawberry 196

Coding sequences of 120 non-redundant FaAP2ERF genes were isolated and 197

identified from lsquoYuexinrsquo strawberry and a systematic nomenclature for the AP2ERF 198

family genes was used to distinguish the members based on the structural features 199

defined previously (Supplemental Table S1) (Shigyo and Ito 2004 Nakano et al 200

2006 Licausi et al 2013) CD-search analysis showed that this superfamily is 201

consisted of 95 ERFs 18 AP2 and 6 RAV family members and 1 soloist member 202

(Supplemental Table S2) Phylogenetic analysis of the Fragaria times ananassa and 203

Arabidopsis AP2ERF members is shown in Supplemental Figure S1 with the 120 204

AP2ERF genes divided into three major groups (ERF AP2 RAV) and a soloist and 205

the ERF family being further divided into 10 groups (groups I to X in Supplemental 206

Table S1) 207

208

We performed a dual-luciferase assay to determine the ability of 116 FaAP2ERF 209

members to activate transcription from the promoter of FaQR The results indicated 210

about 12 members (mainly belonging to the ERF and RAV families) showed a 211

significant activation effect on the FaQR promoter while the remaining members 212

showed very limited effects (Figure 2) The relative activity of only the following 12 213

FaAP2ERF transcripts reached the threshold value set at 2 FaERF8FaERF9 214

(group II) FaERF27FaERF29FaERF31FaERF32 (group IV) 215

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

10

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

12

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

311

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Abstract 77

4-Hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF) is a major contributor to the aroma 78

of strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) fruit and the last step in its biosynthesis is 79

catalysed by Fragaria times ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR) Here an ethylene 80

response factor (FaERF9) was characterized as a positive regulator of the FaQR 81

promoter Linear regression analysis indicated that FaERF9 transcript levels were 82

significantly correlated with both FaQR transcripts and furanone content in different 83

strawberry cultivars Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry fruit 84

significantly increased FaQR expression and furaneol production Yeast one-hybrid 85

assays however indicated that FaERF9 by itself did not bind to the FaQR promoter 86

An MYB transcription factor (FaMYB98) identified in yeast one-hybrid screening of 87

the strawberry cDNA library was capable of both binding to the promoter and 88

activating the transcription of FaQR by ~56-fold Yeast two-hybrid assay and 89

bimolecular fluorescence complementation confirmed a direct protein-protein 90

interaction between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 and in combination they activated the 91

FaQR promoter 14-fold in transactivation assays These results indicate that an 92

ERF-MYB complex containing FaERF9 and FaMYB98 activates the FaQR 93

Introduction 96

Strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) is an economically important globally popular 97

and attractive fruit with nutritional benefits for human health An important feature of 98

its appeal is a unique fragrance with more than 360 different volatile compounds 99

detected in ripe fruit (Meacutenager 2004 Jetti et al 2007) These volatiles include 100

alcohols organic acids aldehydes terpenes lactones esters aromatic hydrocarbons 101

furans and others (Zabetakis and Holden 1997) Sensory evaluation indicates that 102

terpenes confer on strawberry a ldquofresh orangerdquo smell aldehydes generate a ldquoherbal 103

flavourrdquo γ -decalactone is ldquopeach-likerdquo esters are ldquofruityrdquo and 104

4-hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2)H-furanone (HDMF) and 105

25-dimethyl-4-methoxy-3(2)H-furanone (DMMF) generate a ldquocaramel-likerdquo aroma 106

(Pyysalo et al 1979 Larsen and Poll 1992) HDMF and DMMF belong to an 107

uncommon group of chemicals with a 25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone structure and 108

such compounds possess special odour properties (Schwab and Roscher 1997) They 109

are found at trace levels in various fruits including raspberry some grape cultivars 110

and tomato They are particularly abundant in strawberry and pineapple (Schwab 111

2013 Wuumlst 2017) HDMF is one of the most important volatiles distinguishing 112

strawberry from other fruits (Larsen and Poll 1992 Schwab and Roscher 1997) and 113

is significantly correlated with perceived strawberry fruit intensity (Schwieterman et 114

al 2014) Thus strawberry is an important model for investigating the regulation of 115

furaneol biosynthesis and knowledge of the factors controlling its synthesis is highly 116

desirable for targeting flavor improvement 117

118

HDMF and its methyl ether DMMF have been extensively investigated in research 119

on flavour analyses chemical synthesis and natural product formation in both 120

microbes and plants (Zabetakis et al 1999 Schwab 2013) The first plant studies on 121

the biosynthesis of HDMF used strawberry fruit to investigate potential precursors of 122

furaneol biosynthesis (Pisarnitskii et al 1992) and D-fructose-16-diphosphate was 123

identified as the natural precursor of HDMF and DMMF (Roscher et al 1998 124

Schwab 1998) The immediate precursor of HDMF in strawberry was shown to be 125

6

4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-methylene-3(2H)-furanone (HMMF) and Fragaria times 126

ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR later renamed as FaEO) was identified as 127

the enzyme responsible for reduction of the α β-unsaturated bond of HMMF to form 128

the aroma-active compound HDMF (Raab et al 2006 Klein et al 2007) An 129

O-methyltransferase FaOMT subsequently generates DMMF by methylation of 130

HDMF (Wein et al 2002) HDMF can also be metabolized to 131

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one glucoside (HDMF-glucoside) by a 132

UDP-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT71K3) and further malonylated into 133

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one 6rsquo-O-malonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (HDMF 134

malonyl-glucoside) in strawberry fruit (Roscher et al 1996 Song et al 2016) The 135

biosynthetic pathway of HDMF in other plants is similar to that in strawberry Genes 136

with homology to FaQR have been identified in tomato (SlEO) and mango (MIEO) 137

(Klein et al 2007 Kulkarni et al 2013) 138

139

As an NADH-dependent enone oxidoreductase protein FaQR exhibits o-quinone 140

oxidoreductase activity (Raab et al 2006) FaQR mRNA accumulates in fruit 141

parenchyma tissues but is absent in vascular tissues and FaQR is mainly expressed in 142

the late stages of fruit growth and ripening paralleling furaneol production in the fruit 143

(Raab et al 2006) FaQR is responsive to environmental stimuli associated with 144

furaneol production and in the dark lsquoSweet Charliersquo strawberry fruits have higher 145

levels of FaQR expression and HDMF production at 25degC than at 15degC (Fu et al 146

2017) in contrast the concentration of furanones and the abundance of FaQR protein 147

under low-temperature storage is significantly lower than those under 148

room-temperature storage (Li et al 2015) Thus the regulation of FaQR is important 149

for manipulating furaneol content Although it is assumed that transcription factors 150

control expressions of genes involved in volatile production in plants no such factors 151

regulating FaQR or other furanone biosynthetic genes have been identified 152

153

Different members of the largely plant-specific AP2ERF gene family (Weirauch and 154

Hughes 2011) have diverse functions in plant growth development and stress 155

responses (Agarwal et al 2010 Zhu et al 2010 Licausi et al 2013) In recent years 156

several AP2ERF genes have been reported to regulate aspects of fruit quality (Xie et 157

al 2016) including fruit aroma For example CitAP210 is associated with the 158

synthesis of (+)-valencene in Newhall orange acting via regulation of CsTPS1 (Shen 159

et al 2016) CitERF71 was shown to physically bind to the CsTPS16 promoter and 160

contribute to the synthesis of E-geraniol in citrus fruit (Li et al 2017) These 161

observations raised the possibility that FaQR might also be a target for a member of 162

the AP2ERF family and that ERFs might also control furaneol biosynthesis 163

164

In this study screening of the Fragaria times ananassa AP2ERF gene family led to 165

identification of FaERF9 as an activator of FaQR however it did not bind directly 166

to the promoter A parallel search for proteins that directly bind the FaQR promoter 167

using yeast one-hybrid screening identified a second factor FaMYB98 which was 168

capable of physically interacting with the FaQR promoter FaMYB98 physically 169

interacts with FaERF9 and transient expression assays demonstrated a synergistic 170

effect on FaQR expression and furanone synthesis 171

172

Results 173

Changes in the content of both furanones and the activity of their biosynthetic 174

genes in strawberry fruit 175

lsquoYuexinrsquo fruits at four developmental and ripening stages (G green T turning IR 176

intermediate red R full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and determination of HDMF 177

levels indicated a major increase from about 065 μg per gram fruit at the IR stage to 178

346 μg at the R stage in the apical section implying that furaneol accumulation was 179

closely related to colour change and ripening (Figure 1) Furaneol levels were higher 180

in the apical section than in the basal section HDMF could not be detected at the IR 181

stage in the basal section but the amount increased at the R stage to 142 μg per gram 182

fruit Differences were also found for DMMF with the relative content in the apical 183

section 018 μg per gram at the R stage compared to 008 μg per gram in the basal 184

section at the same stage 185

186

Measurement of mRNA levels by RT-qPCR indicated that the transcript levels of both 187

FaQR (GenBank AY1588361) and FaOMT (GenBank AF2204912) increased 188

throughout ripening (Figure 1) Comparison of the expression of these genes showed 189

that the transcript levels of FaQR and FaOMT significantly increased as early as in T 190

stage in basal fruit sections and for each gene over half of the peak transcript 191

abundance occurred as early as in IR stage in the apical section while for the basal 192

section it was in the R stage indicating a gradient of gene expression and volatile 193

production from apex to base of the fruit during ripening 194

195

Genome-wide identification of AP2ERF gene family in strawberry 196

Coding sequences of 120 non-redundant FaAP2ERF genes were isolated and 197

identified from lsquoYuexinrsquo strawberry and a systematic nomenclature for the AP2ERF 198

family genes was used to distinguish the members based on the structural features 199

defined previously (Supplemental Table S1) (Shigyo and Ito 2004 Nakano et al 200

2006 Licausi et al 2013) CD-search analysis showed that this superfamily is 201

consisted of 95 ERFs 18 AP2 and 6 RAV family members and 1 soloist member 202

(Supplemental Table S2) Phylogenetic analysis of the Fragaria times ananassa and 203

Arabidopsis AP2ERF members is shown in Supplemental Figure S1 with the 120 204

AP2ERF genes divided into three major groups (ERF AP2 RAV) and a soloist and 205

the ERF family being further divided into 10 groups (groups I to X in Supplemental 206

Table S1) 207

208

We performed a dual-luciferase assay to determine the ability of 116 FaAP2ERF 209

members to activate transcription from the promoter of FaQR The results indicated 210

about 12 members (mainly belonging to the ERF and RAV families) showed a 211

significant activation effect on the FaQR promoter while the remaining members 212

showed very limited effects (Figure 2) The relative activity of only the following 12 213

FaAP2ERF transcripts reached the threshold value set at 2 FaERF8FaERF9 214

(group II) FaERF27FaERF29FaERF31FaERF32 (group IV) 215

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

10

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

12

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

311

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Abstract 77

4-Hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF) is a major contributor to the aroma 78

of strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) fruit and the last step in its biosynthesis is 79

catalysed by Fragaria times ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR) Here an ethylene 80

response factor (FaERF9) was characterized as a positive regulator of the FaQR 81

promoter Linear regression analysis indicated that FaERF9 transcript levels were 82

significantly correlated with both FaQR transcripts and furanone content in different 83

strawberry cultivars Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry fruit 84

significantly increased FaQR expression and furaneol production Yeast one-hybrid 85

assays however indicated that FaERF9 by itself did not bind to the FaQR promoter 86

An MYB transcription factor (FaMYB98) identified in yeast one-hybrid screening of 87

the strawberry cDNA library was capable of both binding to the promoter and 88

activating the transcription of FaQR by ~56-fold Yeast two-hybrid assay and 89

bimolecular fluorescence complementation confirmed a direct protein-protein 90

interaction between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 and in combination they activated the 91

FaQR promoter 14-fold in transactivation assays These results indicate that an 92

ERF-MYB complex containing FaERF9 and FaMYB98 activates the FaQR 93

promoter and upregulates HDMF biosynthesis in strawberry 94

Introduction 96

Strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) is an economically important globally popular 97

and attractive fruit with nutritional benefits for human health An important feature of 98

its appeal is a unique fragrance with more than 360 different volatile compounds 99

detected in ripe fruit (Meacutenager 2004 Jetti et al 2007) These volatiles include 100

alcohols organic acids aldehydes terpenes lactones esters aromatic hydrocarbons 101

furans and others (Zabetakis and Holden 1997) Sensory evaluation indicates that 102

terpenes confer on strawberry a ldquofresh orangerdquo smell aldehydes generate a ldquoherbal 103

flavourrdquo γ -decalactone is ldquopeach-likerdquo esters are ldquofruityrdquo and 104

4-hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2)H-furanone (HDMF) and 105

25-dimethyl-4-methoxy-3(2)H-furanone (DMMF) generate a ldquocaramel-likerdquo aroma 106

(Pyysalo et al 1979 Larsen and Poll 1992) HDMF and DMMF belong to an 107

uncommon group of chemicals with a 25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone structure and 108

such compounds possess special odour properties (Schwab and Roscher 1997) They 109

are found at trace levels in various fruits including raspberry some grape cultivars 110

and tomato They are particularly abundant in strawberry and pineapple (Schwab 111

2013 Wuumlst 2017) HDMF is one of the most important volatiles distinguishing 112

strawberry from other fruits (Larsen and Poll 1992 Schwab and Roscher 1997) and 113

is significantly correlated with perceived strawberry fruit intensity (Schwieterman et 114

al 2014) Thus strawberry is an important model for investigating the regulation of 115

furaneol biosynthesis and knowledge of the factors controlling its synthesis is highly 116

desirable for targeting flavor improvement 117

118

HDMF and its methyl ether DMMF have been extensively investigated in research 119

on flavour analyses chemical synthesis and natural product formation in both 120

microbes and plants (Zabetakis et al 1999 Schwab 2013) The first plant studies on 121

the biosynthesis of HDMF used strawberry fruit to investigate potential precursors of 122

furaneol biosynthesis (Pisarnitskii et al 1992) and D-fructose-16-diphosphate was 123

identified as the natural precursor of HDMF and DMMF (Roscher et al 1998 124

Schwab 1998) The immediate precursor of HDMF in strawberry was shown to be 125

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

6

4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-methylene-3(2H)-furanone (HMMF) and Fragaria times 126

ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR later renamed as FaEO) was identified as 127

the enzyme responsible for reduction of the α β-unsaturated bond of HMMF to form 128

the aroma-active compound HDMF (Raab et al 2006 Klein et al 2007) An 129

O-methyltransferase FaOMT subsequently generates DMMF by methylation of 130

HDMF (Wein et al 2002) HDMF can also be metabolized to 131

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one glucoside (HDMF-glucoside) by a 132

UDP-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT71K3) and further malonylated into 133

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one 6rsquo-O-malonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (HDMF 134

malonyl-glucoside) in strawberry fruit (Roscher et al 1996 Song et al 2016) The 135

biosynthetic pathway of HDMF in other plants is similar to that in strawberry Genes 136

with homology to FaQR have been identified in tomato (SlEO) and mango (MIEO) 137

(Klein et al 2007 Kulkarni et al 2013) 138

139

As an NADH-dependent enone oxidoreductase protein FaQR exhibits o-quinone 140

oxidoreductase activity (Raab et al 2006) FaQR mRNA accumulates in fruit 141

parenchyma tissues but is absent in vascular tissues and FaQR is mainly expressed in 142

the late stages of fruit growth and ripening paralleling furaneol production in the fruit 143

(Raab et al 2006) FaQR is responsive to environmental stimuli associated with 144

furaneol production and in the dark lsquoSweet Charliersquo strawberry fruits have higher 145

levels of FaQR expression and HDMF production at 25degC than at 15degC (Fu et al 146

2017) in contrast the concentration of furanones and the abundance of FaQR protein 147

under low-temperature storage is significantly lower than those under 148

room-temperature storage (Li et al 2015) Thus the regulation of FaQR is important 149

for manipulating furaneol content Although it is assumed that transcription factors 150

control expressions of genes involved in volatile production in plants no such factors 151

regulating FaQR or other furanone biosynthetic genes have been identified 152

153

Different members of the largely plant-specific AP2ERF gene family (Weirauch and 154

Hughes 2011) have diverse functions in plant growth development and stress 155

responses (Agarwal et al 2010 Zhu et al 2010 Licausi et al 2013) In recent years 156

several AP2ERF genes have been reported to regulate aspects of fruit quality (Xie et 157

al 2016) including fruit aroma For example CitAP210 is associated with the 158

synthesis of (+)-valencene in Newhall orange acting via regulation of CsTPS1 (Shen 159

et al 2016) CitERF71 was shown to physically bind to the CsTPS16 promoter and 160

contribute to the synthesis of E-geraniol in citrus fruit (Li et al 2017) These 161

observations raised the possibility that FaQR might also be a target for a member of 162

the AP2ERF family and that ERFs might also control furaneol biosynthesis 163

164

In this study screening of the Fragaria times ananassa AP2ERF gene family led to 165

identification of FaERF9 as an activator of FaQR however it did not bind directly 166

to the promoter A parallel search for proteins that directly bind the FaQR promoter 167

using yeast one-hybrid screening identified a second factor FaMYB98 which was 168

capable of physically interacting with the FaQR promoter FaMYB98 physically 169

interacts with FaERF9 and transient expression assays demonstrated a synergistic 170

effect on FaQR expression and furanone synthesis 171

Results 173

Changes in the content of both furanones and the activity of their biosynthetic 174

genes in strawberry fruit 175

lsquoYuexinrsquo fruits at four developmental and ripening stages (G green T turning IR 176

intermediate red R full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and determination of HDMF 177

levels indicated a major increase from about 065 μg per gram fruit at the IR stage to 178

346 μg at the R stage in the apical section implying that furaneol accumulation was 179

closely related to colour change and ripening (Figure 1) Furaneol levels were higher 180

in the apical section than in the basal section HDMF could not be detected at the IR 181

stage in the basal section but the amount increased at the R stage to 142 μg per gram 182

fruit Differences were also found for DMMF with the relative content in the apical 183

section 018 μg per gram at the R stage compared to 008 μg per gram in the basal 184

section at the same stage 185

Measurement of mRNA levels by RT-qPCR indicated that the transcript levels of both 187

FaQR (GenBank AY1588361) and FaOMT (GenBank AF2204912) increased 188

throughout ripening (Figure 1) Comparison of the expression of these genes showed 189

that the transcript levels of FaQR and FaOMT significantly increased as early as in T 190

stage in basal fruit sections and for each gene over half of the peak transcript 191

abundance occurred as early as in IR stage in the apical section while for the basal 192

section it was in the R stage indicating a gradient of gene expression and volatile 193

production from apex to base of the fruit during ripening 194

195

Genome-wide identification of AP2ERF gene family in strawberry 196

Coding sequences of 120 non-redundant FaAP2ERF genes were isolated and 197

identified from lsquoYuexinrsquo strawberry and a systematic nomenclature for the AP2ERF 198

family genes was used to distinguish the members based on the structural features 199

defined previously (Supplemental Table S1) (Shigyo and Ito 2004 Nakano et al 200

2006 Licausi et al 2013) CD-search analysis showed that this superfamily is 201

consisted of 95 ERFs 18 AP2 and 6 RAV family members and 1 soloist member 202

(Supplemental Table S2) Phylogenetic analysis of the Fragaria times ananassa and 203

Arabidopsis AP2ERF members is shown in Supplemental Figure S1 with the 120 204

AP2ERF genes divided into three major groups (ERF AP2 RAV) and a soloist and 205

the ERF family being further divided into 10 groups (groups I to X in Supplemental 206

Table S1) 207

208

We performed a dual-luciferase assay to determine the ability of 116 FaAP2ERF 209

members to activate transcription from the promoter of FaQR The results indicated 210

about 12 members (mainly belonging to the ERF and RAV families) showed a 211

significant activation effect on the FaQR promoter while the remaining members 212

showed very limited effects (Figure 2) The relative activity of only the following 12 213

FaAP2ERF transcripts reached the threshold value set at 2 FaERF8FaERF9 214

(group II) FaERF27FaERF29FaERF31FaERF32 (group IV) 215

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

10

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

11

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

12

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

311

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

strawberry fruit (Zorrilla-Fontanesi et al 2012) Samples were ground into a powder 464

under liquid nitrogen for analysis 465

466

For the detection of DMMF (Figure 1) 05 g (fresh weight) of each sample was 467

weighed in the vial to which was added 1 mL of EDTA solution (100 mM pH 75) 1 468

Abstract 77

4-Hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF) is a major contributor to the aroma 78

of strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) fruit and the last step in its biosynthesis is 79

catalysed by Fragaria times ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR) Here an ethylene 80

response factor (FaERF9) was characterized as a positive regulator of the FaQR 81

promoter Linear regression analysis indicated that FaERF9 transcript levels were 82

significantly correlated with both FaQR transcripts and furanone content in different 83

strawberry cultivars Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry fruit 84

significantly increased FaQR expression and furaneol production Yeast one-hybrid 85

assays however indicated that FaERF9 by itself did not bind to the FaQR promoter 86

An MYB transcription factor (FaMYB98) identified in yeast one-hybrid screening of 87

the strawberry cDNA library was capable of both binding to the promoter and 88

activating the transcription of FaQR by ~56-fold Yeast two-hybrid assay and 89

bimolecular fluorescence complementation confirmed a direct protein-protein 90

interaction between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 and in combination they activated the 91

FaQR promoter 14-fold in transactivation assays These results indicate that an 92

ERF-MYB complex containing FaERF9 and FaMYB98 activates the FaQR 93

promoter and upregulates HDMF biosynthesis in strawberry 94

Introduction 96

Strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) is an economically important globally popular 97

and attractive fruit with nutritional benefits for human health An important feature of 98

its appeal is a unique fragrance with more than 360 different volatile compounds 99

detected in ripe fruit (Meacutenager 2004 Jetti et al 2007) These volatiles include 100

alcohols organic acids aldehydes terpenes lactones esters aromatic hydrocarbons 101

furans and others (Zabetakis and Holden 1997) Sensory evaluation indicates that 102

terpenes confer on strawberry a ldquofresh orangerdquo smell aldehydes generate a ldquoherbal 103

flavourrdquo γ -decalactone is ldquopeach-likerdquo esters are ldquofruityrdquo and 104

4-hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2)H-furanone (HDMF) and 105

25-dimethyl-4-methoxy-3(2)H-furanone (DMMF) generate a ldquocaramel-likerdquo aroma 106

(Pyysalo et al 1979 Larsen and Poll 1992) HDMF and DMMF belong to an 107

uncommon group of chemicals with a 25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone structure and 108

such compounds possess special odour properties (Schwab and Roscher 1997) They 109

are found at trace levels in various fruits including raspberry some grape cultivars 110

and tomato They are particularly abundant in strawberry and pineapple (Schwab 111

2013 Wuumlst 2017) HDMF is one of the most important volatiles distinguishing 112

strawberry from other fruits (Larsen and Poll 1992 Schwab and Roscher 1997) and 113

is significantly correlated with perceived strawberry fruit intensity (Schwieterman et 114

al 2014) Thus strawberry is an important model for investigating the regulation of 115

furaneol biosynthesis and knowledge of the factors controlling its synthesis is highly 116

desirable for targeting flavor improvement 117

118

HDMF and its methyl ether DMMF have been extensively investigated in research 119

on flavour analyses chemical synthesis and natural product formation in both 120

microbes and plants (Zabetakis et al 1999 Schwab 2013) The first plant studies on 121

the biosynthesis of HDMF used strawberry fruit to investigate potential precursors of 122

furaneol biosynthesis (Pisarnitskii et al 1992) and D-fructose-16-diphosphate was 123

identified as the natural precursor of HDMF and DMMF (Roscher et al 1998 124

Schwab 1998) The immediate precursor of HDMF in strawberry was shown to be 125

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

6

4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-methylene-3(2H)-furanone (HMMF) and Fragaria times 126

ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR later renamed as FaEO) was identified as 127

the enzyme responsible for reduction of the α β-unsaturated bond of HMMF to form 128

the aroma-active compound HDMF (Raab et al 2006 Klein et al 2007) An 129

O-methyltransferase FaOMT subsequently generates DMMF by methylation of 130

HDMF (Wein et al 2002) HDMF can also be metabolized to 131

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one glucoside (HDMF-glucoside) by a 132

UDP-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT71K3) and further malonylated into 133

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one 6rsquo-O-malonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (HDMF 134

malonyl-glucoside) in strawberry fruit (Roscher et al 1996 Song et al 2016) The 135

biosynthetic pathway of HDMF in other plants is similar to that in strawberry Genes 136

with homology to FaQR have been identified in tomato (SlEO) and mango (MIEO) 137

(Klein et al 2007 Kulkarni et al 2013) 138

139

As an NADH-dependent enone oxidoreductase protein FaQR exhibits o-quinone 140

oxidoreductase activity (Raab et al 2006) FaQR mRNA accumulates in fruit 141

parenchyma tissues but is absent in vascular tissues and FaQR is mainly expressed in 142

the late stages of fruit growth and ripening paralleling furaneol production in the fruit 143

(Raab et al 2006) FaQR is responsive to environmental stimuli associated with 144

furaneol production and in the dark lsquoSweet Charliersquo strawberry fruits have higher 145

levels of FaQR expression and HDMF production at 25degC than at 15degC (Fu et al 146

2017) in contrast the concentration of furanones and the abundance of FaQR protein 147

under low-temperature storage is significantly lower than those under 148

room-temperature storage (Li et al 2015) Thus the regulation of FaQR is important 149

for manipulating furaneol content Although it is assumed that transcription factors 150

control expressions of genes involved in volatile production in plants no such factors 151

regulating FaQR or other furanone biosynthetic genes have been identified 152

153

Different members of the largely plant-specific AP2ERF gene family (Weirauch and 154

Hughes 2011) have diverse functions in plant growth development and stress 155

responses (Agarwal et al 2010 Zhu et al 2010 Licausi et al 2013) In recent years 156

several AP2ERF genes have been reported to regulate aspects of fruit quality (Xie et 157

al 2016) including fruit aroma For example CitAP210 is associated with the 158

synthesis of (+)-valencene in Newhall orange acting via regulation of CsTPS1 (Shen 159

et al 2016) CitERF71 was shown to physically bind to the CsTPS16 promoter and 160

contribute to the synthesis of E-geraniol in citrus fruit (Li et al 2017) These 161

observations raised the possibility that FaQR might also be a target for a member of 162

the AP2ERF family and that ERFs might also control furaneol biosynthesis 163

164

In this study screening of the Fragaria times ananassa AP2ERF gene family led to 165

identification of FaERF9 as an activator of FaQR however it did not bind directly 166

to the promoter A parallel search for proteins that directly bind the FaQR promoter 167

using yeast one-hybrid screening identified a second factor FaMYB98 which was 168

capable of physically interacting with the FaQR promoter FaMYB98 physically 169

interacts with FaERF9 and transient expression assays demonstrated a synergistic 170

effect on FaQR expression and furanone synthesis 171

172

Results 173

Changes in the content of both furanones and the activity of their biosynthetic 174

genes in strawberry fruit 175

lsquoYuexinrsquo fruits at four developmental and ripening stages (G green T turning IR 176

intermediate red R full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and determination of HDMF 177

levels indicated a major increase from about 065 μg per gram fruit at the IR stage to 178

346 μg at the R stage in the apical section implying that furaneol accumulation was 179

closely related to colour change and ripening (Figure 1) Furaneol levels were higher 180

in the apical section than in the basal section HDMF could not be detected at the IR 181

stage in the basal section but the amount increased at the R stage to 142 μg per gram 182

fruit Differences were also found for DMMF with the relative content in the apical 183

section 018 μg per gram at the R stage compared to 008 μg per gram in the basal 184

section at the same stage 185

186

Measurement of mRNA levels by RT-qPCR indicated that the transcript levels of both 187

FaQR (GenBank AY1588361) and FaOMT (GenBank AF2204912) increased 188

throughout ripening (Figure 1) Comparison of the expression of these genes showed 189

that the transcript levels of FaQR and FaOMT significantly increased as early as in T 190

stage in basal fruit sections and for each gene over half of the peak transcript 191

abundance occurred as early as in IR stage in the apical section while for the basal 192

section it was in the R stage indicating a gradient of gene expression and volatile 193

production from apex to base of the fruit during ripening 194

195

Genome-wide identification of AP2ERF gene family in strawberry 196

Coding sequences of 120 non-redundant FaAP2ERF genes were isolated and 197

identified from lsquoYuexinrsquo strawberry and a systematic nomenclature for the AP2ERF 198

family genes was used to distinguish the members based on the structural features 199

defined previously (Supplemental Table S1) (Shigyo and Ito 2004 Nakano et al 200

2006 Licausi et al 2013) CD-search analysis showed that this superfamily is 201

consisted of 95 ERFs 18 AP2 and 6 RAV family members and 1 soloist member 202

(Supplemental Table S2) Phylogenetic analysis of the Fragaria times ananassa and 203

Arabidopsis AP2ERF members is shown in Supplemental Figure S1 with the 120 204

AP2ERF genes divided into three major groups (ERF AP2 RAV) and a soloist and 205

the ERF family being further divided into 10 groups (groups I to X in Supplemental 206

Table S1) 207

208

We performed a dual-luciferase assay to determine the ability of 116 FaAP2ERF 209

members to activate transcription from the promoter of FaQR The results indicated 210

about 12 members (mainly belonging to the ERF and RAV families) showed a 211

significant activation effect on the FaQR promoter while the remaining members 212

showed very limited effects (Figure 2) The relative activity of only the following 12 213

FaAP2ERF transcripts reached the threshold value set at 2 FaERF8FaERF9 214

(group II) FaERF27FaERF29FaERF31FaERF32 (group IV) 215

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

10

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

12

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Introduction 96

Strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) is an economically important globally popular 97

and attractive fruit with nutritional benefits for human health An important feature of 98

its appeal is a unique fragrance with more than 360 different volatile compounds 99

detected in ripe fruit (Meacutenager 2004 Jetti et al 2007) These volatiles include 100

alcohols organic acids aldehydes terpenes lactones esters aromatic hydrocarbons 101

furans and others (Zabetakis and Holden 1997) Sensory evaluation indicates that 102

terpenes confer on strawberry a ldquofresh orangerdquo smell aldehydes generate a ldquoherbal 103

flavourrdquo γ -decalactone is ldquopeach-likerdquo esters are ldquofruityrdquo and 104

4-hydroxy-25-dimethyl-3(2)H-furanone (HDMF) and 105

25-dimethyl-4-methoxy-3(2)H-furanone (DMMF) generate a ldquocaramel-likerdquo aroma 106

(Pyysalo et al 1979 Larsen and Poll 1992) HDMF and DMMF belong to an 107

uncommon group of chemicals with a 25-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone structure and 108

such compounds possess special odour properties (Schwab and Roscher 1997) They 109

are found at trace levels in various fruits including raspberry some grape cultivars 110

and tomato They are particularly abundant in strawberry and pineapple (Schwab 111

2013 Wuumlst 2017) HDMF is one of the most important volatiles distinguishing 112

strawberry from other fruits (Larsen and Poll 1992 Schwab and Roscher 1997) and 113

is significantly correlated with perceived strawberry fruit intensity (Schwieterman et 114

al 2014) Thus strawberry is an important model for investigating the regulation of 115

furaneol biosynthesis and knowledge of the factors controlling its synthesis is highly 116

desirable for targeting flavor improvement 117

118

HDMF and its methyl ether DMMF have been extensively investigated in research 119

on flavour analyses chemical synthesis and natural product formation in both 120

microbes and plants (Zabetakis et al 1999 Schwab 2013) The first plant studies on 121

the biosynthesis of HDMF used strawberry fruit to investigate potential precursors of 122

furaneol biosynthesis (Pisarnitskii et al 1992) and D-fructose-16-diphosphate was 123

identified as the natural precursor of HDMF and DMMF (Roscher et al 1998 124

Schwab 1998) The immediate precursor of HDMF in strawberry was shown to be 125

6

4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-methylene-3(2H)-furanone (HMMF) and Fragaria times 126

ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR later renamed as FaEO) was identified as 127

the enzyme responsible for reduction of the α β-unsaturated bond of HMMF to form 128

the aroma-active compound HDMF (Raab et al 2006 Klein et al 2007) An 129

O-methyltransferase FaOMT subsequently generates DMMF by methylation of 130

HDMF (Wein et al 2002) HDMF can also be metabolized to 131

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one glucoside (HDMF-glucoside) by a 132

UDP-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT71K3) and further malonylated into 133

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one 6rsquo-O-malonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (HDMF 134

malonyl-glucoside) in strawberry fruit (Roscher et al 1996 Song et al 2016) The 135

biosynthetic pathway of HDMF in other plants is similar to that in strawberry Genes 136

with homology to FaQR have been identified in tomato (SlEO) and mango (MIEO) 137

(Klein et al 2007 Kulkarni et al 2013) 138

139

As an NADH-dependent enone oxidoreductase protein FaQR exhibits o-quinone 140

oxidoreductase activity (Raab et al 2006) FaQR mRNA accumulates in fruit 141

parenchyma tissues but is absent in vascular tissues and FaQR is mainly expressed in 142

the late stages of fruit growth and ripening paralleling furaneol production in the fruit 143

(Raab et al 2006) FaQR is responsive to environmental stimuli associated with 144

furaneol production and in the dark lsquoSweet Charliersquo strawberry fruits have higher 145

levels of FaQR expression and HDMF production at 25degC than at 15degC (Fu et al 146

2017) in contrast the concentration of furanones and the abundance of FaQR protein 147

under low-temperature storage is significantly lower than those under 148

room-temperature storage (Li et al 2015) Thus the regulation of FaQR is important 149

for manipulating furaneol content Although it is assumed that transcription factors 150

control expressions of genes involved in volatile production in plants no such factors 151

regulating FaQR or other furanone biosynthetic genes have been identified 152

153

Different members of the largely plant-specific AP2ERF gene family (Weirauch and 154

Hughes 2011) have diverse functions in plant growth development and stress 155

responses (Agarwal et al 2010 Zhu et al 2010 Licausi et al 2013) In recent years 156

several AP2ERF genes have been reported to regulate aspects of fruit quality (Xie et 157

al 2016) including fruit aroma For example CitAP210 is associated with the 158

synthesis of (+)-valencene in Newhall orange acting via regulation of CsTPS1 (Shen 159

et al 2016) CitERF71 was shown to physically bind to the CsTPS16 promoter and 160

contribute to the synthesis of E-geraniol in citrus fruit (Li et al 2017) These 161

observations raised the possibility that FaQR might also be a target for a member of 162

the AP2ERF family and that ERFs might also control furaneol biosynthesis 163

164

In this study screening of the Fragaria times ananassa AP2ERF gene family led to 165

identification of FaERF9 as an activator of FaQR however it did not bind directly 166

to the promoter A parallel search for proteins that directly bind the FaQR promoter 167

using yeast one-hybrid screening identified a second factor FaMYB98 which was 168

capable of physically interacting with the FaQR promoter FaMYB98 physically 169

interacts with FaERF9 and transient expression assays demonstrated a synergistic 170

effect on FaQR expression and furanone synthesis 171

172

Results 173

Changes in the content of both furanones and the activity of their biosynthetic 174

genes in strawberry fruit 175

lsquoYuexinrsquo fruits at four developmental and ripening stages (G green T turning IR 176

intermediate red R full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and determination of HDMF 177

levels indicated a major increase from about 065 μg per gram fruit at the IR stage to 178

346 μg at the R stage in the apical section implying that furaneol accumulation was 179

closely related to colour change and ripening (Figure 1) Furaneol levels were higher 180

in the apical section than in the basal section HDMF could not be detected at the IR 181

stage in the basal section but the amount increased at the R stage to 142 μg per gram 182

fruit Differences were also found for DMMF with the relative content in the apical 183

section 018 μg per gram at the R stage compared to 008 μg per gram in the basal 184

section at the same stage 185

186

Measurement of mRNA levels by RT-qPCR indicated that the transcript levels of both 187

FaQR (GenBank AY1588361) and FaOMT (GenBank AF2204912) increased 188

throughout ripening (Figure 1) Comparison of the expression of these genes showed 189

that the transcript levels of FaQR and FaOMT significantly increased as early as in T 190

stage in basal fruit sections and for each gene over half of the peak transcript 191

abundance occurred as early as in IR stage in the apical section while for the basal 192

section it was in the R stage indicating a gradient of gene expression and volatile 193

production from apex to base of the fruit during ripening 194

195

Genome-wide identification of AP2ERF gene family in strawberry 196

Coding sequences of 120 non-redundant FaAP2ERF genes were isolated and 197

identified from lsquoYuexinrsquo strawberry and a systematic nomenclature for the AP2ERF 198

family genes was used to distinguish the members based on the structural features 199

defined previously (Supplemental Table S1) (Shigyo and Ito 2004 Nakano et al 200

2006 Licausi et al 2013) CD-search analysis showed that this superfamily is 201

consisted of 95 ERFs 18 AP2 and 6 RAV family members and 1 soloist member 202

(Supplemental Table S2) Phylogenetic analysis of the Fragaria times ananassa and 203

Arabidopsis AP2ERF members is shown in Supplemental Figure S1 with the 120 204

AP2ERF genes divided into three major groups (ERF AP2 RAV) and a soloist and 205

the ERF family being further divided into 10 groups (groups I to X in Supplemental 206

Table S1) 207

208

We performed a dual-luciferase assay to determine the ability of 116 FaAP2ERF 209

members to activate transcription from the promoter of FaQR The results indicated 210

about 12 members (mainly belonging to the ERF and RAV families) showed a 211

significant activation effect on the FaQR promoter while the remaining members 212

showed very limited effects (Figure 2) The relative activity of only the following 12 213

FaAP2ERF transcripts reached the threshold value set at 2 FaERF8FaERF9 214

(group II) FaERF27FaERF29FaERF31FaERF32 (group IV) 215

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

10

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

12

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

311

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Plant Materials and Growth conditions 442

The strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa cv lsquoYuexinrsquo an octoploid cultivar) fruit used in 443

this study were bred by Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences (Haining 444

Zhejiang) Fruits at various developmental and ripening stages including G (green) T 445

(turning) IR (intermediate red) and R (full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and 446

transported to the laboratory within 2 h Thirty-six fruits of uniform size and free of 447

visible defects were selected at each stage with twelve fruits in each biological 448

4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-methylene-3(2H)-furanone (HMMF) and Fragaria times 126

ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR later renamed as FaEO) was identified as 127

the enzyme responsible for reduction of the α β-unsaturated bond of HMMF to form 128

the aroma-active compound HDMF (Raab et al 2006 Klein et al 2007) An 129

O-methyltransferase FaOMT subsequently generates DMMF by methylation of 130

HDMF (Wein et al 2002) HDMF can also be metabolized to 131

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one glucoside (HDMF-glucoside) by a 132

UDP-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT71K3) and further malonylated into 133

25-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2H-furan-3-one 6rsquo-O-malonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (HDMF 134

malonyl-glucoside) in strawberry fruit (Roscher et al 1996 Song et al 2016) The 135

biosynthetic pathway of HDMF in other plants is similar to that in strawberry Genes 136

with homology to FaQR have been identified in tomato (SlEO) and mango (MIEO) 137

(Klein et al 2007 Kulkarni et al 2013) 138

139

As an NADH-dependent enone oxidoreductase protein FaQR exhibits o-quinone 140

oxidoreductase activity (Raab et al 2006) FaQR mRNA accumulates in fruit 141

parenchyma tissues but is absent in vascular tissues and FaQR is mainly expressed in 142

the late stages of fruit growth and ripening paralleling furaneol production in the fruit 143

(Raab et al 2006) FaQR is responsive to environmental stimuli associated with 144

furaneol production and in the dark lsquoSweet Charliersquo strawberry fruits have higher 145

levels of FaQR expression and HDMF production at 25degC than at 15degC (Fu et al 146

2017) in contrast the concentration of furanones and the abundance of FaQR protein 147

under low-temperature storage is significantly lower than those under 148

room-temperature storage (Li et al 2015) Thus the regulation of FaQR is important 149

for manipulating furaneol content Although it is assumed that transcription factors 150

control expressions of genes involved in volatile production in plants no such factors 151

regulating FaQR or other furanone biosynthetic genes have been identified 152

153

Different members of the largely plant-specific AP2ERF gene family (Weirauch and 154

Hughes 2011) have diverse functions in plant growth development and stress 155

responses (Agarwal et al 2010 Zhu et al 2010 Licausi et al 2013) In recent years 156

several AP2ERF genes have been reported to regulate aspects of fruit quality (Xie et 157

al 2016) including fruit aroma For example CitAP210 is associated with the 158

synthesis of (+)-valencene in Newhall orange acting via regulation of CsTPS1 (Shen 159

et al 2016) CitERF71 was shown to physically bind to the CsTPS16 promoter and 160

contribute to the synthesis of E-geraniol in citrus fruit (Li et al 2017) These 161

observations raised the possibility that FaQR might also be a target for a member of 162

the AP2ERF family and that ERFs might also control furaneol biosynthesis 163

164

In this study screening of the Fragaria times ananassa AP2ERF gene family led to 165

identification of FaERF9 as an activator of FaQR however it did not bind directly 166

to the promoter A parallel search for proteins that directly bind the FaQR promoter 167

using yeast one-hybrid screening identified a second factor FaMYB98 which was 168

capable of physically interacting with the FaQR promoter FaMYB98 physically 169

interacts with FaERF9 and transient expression assays demonstrated a synergistic 170

effect on FaQR expression and furanone synthesis 171

Results 173

Changes in the content of both furanones and the activity of their biosynthetic 174

genes in strawberry fruit 175

lsquoYuexinrsquo fruits at four developmental and ripening stages (G green T turning IR 176

intermediate red R full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and determination of HDMF 177

levels indicated a major increase from about 065 μg per gram fruit at the IR stage to 178

346 μg at the R stage in the apical section implying that furaneol accumulation was 179

closely related to colour change and ripening (Figure 1) Furaneol levels were higher 180

in the apical section than in the basal section HDMF could not be detected at the IR 181

stage in the basal section but the amount increased at the R stage to 142 μg per gram 182

fruit Differences were also found for DMMF with the relative content in the apical 183

section 018 μg per gram at the R stage compared to 008 μg per gram in the basal 184

section at the same stage 185

186

Measurement of mRNA levels by RT-qPCR indicated that the transcript levels of both 187

FaQR (GenBank AY1588361) and FaOMT (GenBank AF2204912) increased 188

throughout ripening (Figure 1) Comparison of the expression of these genes showed 189

that the transcript levels of FaQR and FaOMT significantly increased as early as in T 190

stage in basal fruit sections and for each gene over half of the peak transcript 191

abundance occurred as early as in IR stage in the apical section while for the basal 192

section it was in the R stage indicating a gradient of gene expression and volatile 193

production from apex to base of the fruit during ripening 194

195

Genome-wide identification of AP2ERF gene family in strawberry 196

Coding sequences of 120 non-redundant FaAP2ERF genes were isolated and 197

identified from lsquoYuexinrsquo strawberry and a systematic nomenclature for the AP2ERF 198

family genes was used to distinguish the members based on the structural features 199

defined previously (Supplemental Table S1) (Shigyo and Ito 2004 Nakano et al 200

2006 Licausi et al 2013) CD-search analysis showed that this superfamily is 201

consisted of 95 ERFs 18 AP2 and 6 RAV family members and 1 soloist member 202

(Supplemental Table S2) Phylogenetic analysis of the Fragaria times ananassa and 203

Arabidopsis AP2ERF members is shown in Supplemental Figure S1 with the 120 204

AP2ERF genes divided into three major groups (ERF AP2 RAV) and a soloist and 205

the ERF family being further divided into 10 groups (groups I to X in Supplemental 206

Table S1) 207

208

We performed a dual-luciferase assay to determine the ability of 116 FaAP2ERF 209

members to activate transcription from the promoter of FaQR The results indicated 210

about 12 members (mainly belonging to the ERF and RAV families) showed a 211

significant activation effect on the FaQR promoter while the remaining members 212

showed very limited effects (Figure 2) The relative activity of only the following 12 213

FaAP2ERF transcripts reached the threshold value set at 2 FaERF8FaERF9 214

(group II) FaERF27FaERF29FaERF31FaERF32 (group IV) 215

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

10

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Dual-Luciferase Assays 559

In accordance with a previous protocol (Yin et al 2010) the full-length cDNAs of 560

FaAP2ERF or FaMYB98 transcription factors were cloned into pGreen II 0029 561

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

μL of promoter the effect of the mixtures that contained each transcription factor (05 574

responses (Agarwal et al 2010 Zhu et al 2010 Licausi et al 2013) In recent years 156

several AP2ERF genes have been reported to regulate aspects of fruit quality (Xie et 157

al 2016) including fruit aroma For example CitAP210 is associated with the 158

synthesis of (+)-valencene in Newhall orange acting via regulation of CsTPS1 (Shen 159

et al 2016) CitERF71 was shown to physically bind to the CsTPS16 promoter and 160

contribute to the synthesis of E-geraniol in citrus fruit (Li et al 2017) These 161

observations raised the possibility that FaQR might also be a target for a member of 162

the AP2ERF family and that ERFs might also control furaneol biosynthesis 163

164

In this study screening of the Fragaria times ananassa AP2ERF gene family led to 165

identification of FaERF9 as an activator of FaQR however it did not bind directly 166

to the promoter A parallel search for proteins that directly bind the FaQR promoter 167

using yeast one-hybrid screening identified a second factor FaMYB98 which was 168

capable of physically interacting with the FaQR promoter FaMYB98 physically 169

interacts with FaERF9 and transient expression assays demonstrated a synergistic 170

effect on FaQR expression and furanone synthesis 171

172

Results 173

Changes in the content of both furanones and the activity of their biosynthetic 174

genes in strawberry fruit 175

lsquoYuexinrsquo fruits at four developmental and ripening stages (G green T turning IR 176

intermediate red R full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and determination of HDMF 177

levels indicated a major increase from about 065 μg per gram fruit at the IR stage to 178

346 μg at the R stage in the apical section implying that furaneol accumulation was 179

closely related to colour change and ripening (Figure 1) Furaneol levels were higher 180

in the apical section than in the basal section HDMF could not be detected at the IR 181

stage in the basal section but the amount increased at the R stage to 142 μg per gram 182

fruit Differences were also found for DMMF with the relative content in the apical 183

section 018 μg per gram at the R stage compared to 008 μg per gram in the basal 184

section at the same stage 185

186

Measurement of mRNA levels by RT-qPCR indicated that the transcript levels of both 187

FaQR (GenBank AY1588361) and FaOMT (GenBank AF2204912) increased 188

throughout ripening (Figure 1) Comparison of the expression of these genes showed 189

that the transcript levels of FaQR and FaOMT significantly increased as early as in T 190

stage in basal fruit sections and for each gene over half of the peak transcript 191

abundance occurred as early as in IR stage in the apical section while for the basal 192

section it was in the R stage indicating a gradient of gene expression and volatile 193

production from apex to base of the fruit during ripening 194

195

Genome-wide identification of AP2ERF gene family in strawberry 196

Coding sequences of 120 non-redundant FaAP2ERF genes were isolated and 197

identified from lsquoYuexinrsquo strawberry and a systematic nomenclature for the AP2ERF 198

family genes was used to distinguish the members based on the structural features 199

defined previously (Supplemental Table S1) (Shigyo and Ito 2004 Nakano et al 200

2006 Licausi et al 2013) CD-search analysis showed that this superfamily is 201

consisted of 95 ERFs 18 AP2 and 6 RAV family members and 1 soloist member 202

(Supplemental Table S2) Phylogenetic analysis of the Fragaria times ananassa and 203

Arabidopsis AP2ERF members is shown in Supplemental Figure S1 with the 120 204

AP2ERF genes divided into three major groups (ERF AP2 RAV) and a soloist and 205

the ERF family being further divided into 10 groups (groups I to X in Supplemental 206

Table S1) 207

208

We performed a dual-luciferase assay to determine the ability of 116 FaAP2ERF 209

members to activate transcription from the promoter of FaQR The results indicated 210

about 12 members (mainly belonging to the ERF and RAV families) showed a 211

significant activation effect on the FaQR promoter while the remaining members 212

showed very limited effects (Figure 2) The relative activity of only the following 12 213

FaAP2ERF transcripts reached the threshold value set at 2 FaERF8FaERF9 214

(group II) FaERF27FaERF29FaERF31FaERF32 (group IV) 215

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

12

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

311

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

457

Tobacco plants (Nicotiana benthamiana) used for dual-luciferase assays and 458

subcellular localization analysis in this study were grown in a growth chamber with a 459

lightdark cycle of 16 h8 h at 24degC 460

461

Detection of DMMF and HDMF 462

Automated HS-SPME-GC-MS was performed to detect both furanones in lsquoYuexinrsquo 463

strawberry fruit (Zorrilla-Fontanesi et al 2012) Samples were ground into a powder 464

under liquid nitrogen for analysis 465

466

For the detection of DMMF (Figure 1) 05 g (fresh weight) of each sample was 467

weighed in the vial to which was added 1 mL of EDTA solution (100 mM pH 75) 1 468

mL of CaCl2 solution (mv = 20) and 20 microL of 2-octanol as the internal standard 469

(007 μgμL) The mixture was homogenized and the vial closed and placed on the 470

sample tray for analysis by CombiPAL autosampler (CTC Analytic CA USA) The 471

fruit volatiles were sampled by headspace solid-phase microextraction with a 65-μm 472

polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene fibre (PDMS-DVB) Initially vials were 473

pre-incubated at 50degC for 10 min under continuous agitation (500 rpm) then volatiles 474

Measurement of mRNA levels by RT-qPCR indicated that the transcript levels of both 187

FaQR (GenBank AY1588361) and FaOMT (GenBank AF2204912) increased 188

throughout ripening (Figure 1) Comparison of the expression of these genes showed 189

that the transcript levels of FaQR and FaOMT significantly increased as early as in T 190

stage in basal fruit sections and for each gene over half of the peak transcript 191

abundance occurred as early as in IR stage in the apical section while for the basal 192

section it was in the R stage indicating a gradient of gene expression and volatile 193

production from apex to base of the fruit during ripening 194

195

Genome-wide identification of AP2ERF gene family in strawberry 196

Coding sequences of 120 non-redundant FaAP2ERF genes were isolated and 197

identified from lsquoYuexinrsquo strawberry and a systematic nomenclature for the AP2ERF 198

family genes was used to distinguish the members based on the structural features 199

defined previously (Supplemental Table S1) (Shigyo and Ito 2004 Nakano et al 200

2006 Licausi et al 2013) CD-search analysis showed that this superfamily is 201

consisted of 95 ERFs 18 AP2 and 6 RAV family members and 1 soloist member 202

(Supplemental Table S2) Phylogenetic analysis of the Fragaria times ananassa and 203

Arabidopsis AP2ERF members is shown in Supplemental Figure S1 with the 120 204

AP2ERF genes divided into three major groups (ERF AP2 RAV) and a soloist and 205

the ERF family being further divided into 10 groups (groups I to X in Supplemental 206

Table S1) 207

208

We performed a dual-luciferase assay to determine the ability of 116 FaAP2ERF 209

members to activate transcription from the promoter of FaQR The results indicated 210

about 12 members (mainly belonging to the ERF and RAV families) showed a 211

significant activation effect on the FaQR promoter while the remaining members 212

showed very limited effects (Figure 2) The relative activity of only the following 12 213

FaAP2ERF transcripts reached the threshold value set at 2 FaERF8FaERF9 214

(group II) FaERF27FaERF29FaERF31FaERF32 (group IV) 215

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

12

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

311

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

FaERF37FaERF38 (group V) FaERF62FaERF64 (group VIII) FaERF68 216

(group IX) and FaRAV4 (Figure 2) Of these FaERF9 exhibited the highest 217

activation effect on the FaQR promoter (466-fold) (Figure 2) The strawberry 218

FaERF9 cDNA is 699 bp long and ExPASy Compute pIMw tool analysis indicated 219

that this gene encodes a 232-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 220

254 KD and a pI of 56 221

222

FaERF9 expression pattern and subcellular localization 223

To further explore the connections between AP2ERFs and furaneol biosynthesis we 224

obtained the transcript profiles of the AP2ERF genes in strawberry fruit samples at 225

different fruit developmental and ripening stages by reverse transcription quantitative 226

PCR (RT-qPCR) excluding genes with very low abundance in the fruit samples The 227

results presented as a heatmap (Supplemental Figure S2) demonstrate that these 228

genes displayed various expression patterns in both the apical and basal sections and 229

by analysing the expression patterns of the members indicated as activators in the 230

dual-luciferase assay we found that only a few genes including FaERF8 FaERF9 231

FaERF27 FaERF32 and FaERF37 were up-regulated during ripening stages and 232

their expression correlated with furaneol accumulation in the fruit (Figure 1) 233

Furthermore the expression patterns of the up-regulated genes in the apical and basal 234

sections showed that one ERF gene FaERF9 not only showed an up-regulation 235

pattern in both sections but its expression in the apical section occurred ahead of that 236

in the basal section (Figure 3) consistent with the actual changes in furaneol content 237

(Figure 1) and the expression pattern of FaQR (Figure 1) The subcellular localization 238

of FaERF9 was predicted to be in the nucleus using the WoLF PSORT program In 239

experimental tests 35S-FaERF9-GFP (green fluorescence protein) showed strong 240

fluorescence in the nucleus and the green signal merged with the red fluorescence 241

signal of mCherry-nucleus-marker in tobacco plants (Figure 3) 242

243

Transient overexpression of FaERF9 in strawberry 244

The expression of FaERF9 in agro-infiltrated fruits was analysed by performing 245

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Dual-Luciferase Assays 559

In accordance with a previous protocol (Yin et al 2010) the full-length cDNAs of 560

FaAP2ERF or FaMYB98 transcription factors were cloned into pGreen II 0029 561

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

RT-qPCR on the seventh day after infiltration by which time they had reached the IR 246

or R stage and the result showed that the transcript levels were significantly higher 247

(52-fold) than in control fruits (Figure 4) The expression of FaQR was examined in 248

the same fruits and the transcript abundance also increased 22-fold The relative 249

content of HDMF in the FaERF9-overexpressing fruits was 008 μg per gram fruit 250

and undetectable in the control fruits (Figure 4) The relative content of DMMF in the 251

overexpressing fruits was also significantly increased to 038 μg per gram fruit 252

compared to 004 μg per gram fruit in the control (Figure 4) These observations 253

provide direct evidence for a regulatory role for FaERF9 in promoting FaQR 254

biosynthesis and activity in ripening strawberry fruit Taken together these results 255

indicate that by activating the transcription of FaQR FaERF9 functions as a positive 256

regulator in furaneol biosynthesis 257

258

Correlation of FaERF9 expression and FaQR transcript profiles 259

GC-MS quantification showed that furanones are distributed in variable levels among 260

different strawberry cultivars (Supplemental Figure S3) The transcript profiles of 261

FaQR and FaERF9 in fruits of different cultivars were measured and linear 262

regression analysis was performed In the cultivars the changes in FaQR transcripts 263

correlated positively with those in FaERF9 transcripts (r = 079 plt001) (Figure 5) 264

In addition FaERF9 transcript levels also correlated with furanone content across 265

cultivars (Figure 5) 266

267

FaERF9 is an indirect regulator of the FaQR promoter and acts via 268

protein-protein interaction with FaMYB98 269

Although the results of the dual-luciferase assay expression analysis transient 270

overexpression and correlation analysis were all consistent with the suggestion that 271

FaERF9 regulates transcript abundance by acting on the FaQR promoter a yeast 272

one-hybrid assay indicated that FaERF9 cannot bind directly to the FaQR promoter 273

(Figure 6) This led us to speculate that activation may occur via a transcription 274

complex involving an additional as-yet unknown regulator which can bind directly to 275

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

TURBO Dnase (Ambion) 1 μg of RNA was used to obtain cDNA using an IScriptTM 516

cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad) The synthesized cDNA was diluted with water (120) 517

and 2 μL of diluted cDNA was used as the template for RT-qPCR Reactions were 518

Gene isolation and analysis 533

Multiple database searches were performed to identify members of the strawberry 534

(Fragaria times ananassa) AP2ERF superfamily in the published strawberry databases 535

and annotations of Fragaria times ananassa and Fragaria times vesca by using the 536

AP2ERF DNA binding domain as a query sequence and 120 genes were identified 537

with AP2ERF domain(s) Based on the BLAST result primers (listed in 538

Supplemental Table S5) were used to amplify the coding full-length cDNAs of 539

AP2ERF genes The deduced amino acid sequences of AP2ERF proteins in 540

Arabidopsis thaliana used for construction of a phylogenetic tree were obtained from 541

the Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) Alignment of the proteins was 542

FaMYB98 was obtained by yeast one-hybrid screening sequencing and the full-length 546

sequences were predicted by BLAST Primers were designed (listed in Supplemental 547

Table S5) to amplify the full-length coding sequence 548

549

The promoter of FaQR was cloned by Genome Walking as previously described (Yin 550

et al 2010) and conserved cis-element motifs in the promoter were manually 551

searched 552

553

Conserved domains within the FaAP2ERF proteins and FaMYB98 were analysed by 554

CD-search (httpswwwncbinlmnihgovStructurecddwrpsbcgi) and cellular 555

locations of proteins including FaERF9 and FaMYB98 were predicted with the 556

Dual-Luciferase Assays 559

In accordance with a previous protocol (Yin et al 2010) the full-length cDNAs of 560

FaAP2ERF or FaMYB98 transcription factors were cloned into pGreen II 0029 561

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

μL of promoter the effect of the mixtures that contained each transcription factor (05 574

mL) and empty vector SK (05 mL) was also tested on the promoter as a control 575

the FaQR promoter 276

277

In parallel with the investigation of the FaAP2ERF genes a cDNA library screening 278

was performed with a yeast one-hybrid assay using the promoter of FaQR as the bait 279

This screen identified several transcription factors that could physically bind to the 280

FaQR promoter but only one MYB could activate transcription from the FaQR 281

promoter (approximately 56-fold) relative to the control (Figure 6) in the 282

dual-luciferase assay This MYB showed 44 amino acid identity with MYB98 283

(GenBank ABA420611) a transcriptional regulator in the synergid cells in 284

Arabidopsis (Kasahara et al 2005) and it was designated as FaMYB98 The 285

specificity of FaMYB98 binding to the FaQR promoter was confirmed by EMSA 286

assay (Figure 7) and increasing the concentration of the cold probe reduced binding 287

In addition mutating the putative binding sites (Goacutemez-Maldonado et al 2004 288

Punwani et al 2007) as shown in Figure 7 eliminated FaMYB98 protein binding 289

When the combined effect of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 was analysed (Figure 8) a 290

synergistic 14-fold activation of the FaQR promoter was observed compared with the 291

activation by either FaERF9 or FaMYB98 which alone promoted transactivation 292

39-fold and 45-fold respectively In addition overexpression of both genes 293

(FaERF9-FaMYB98-SK) in strawberry fruits resulted in higher expression of 294

FaERF9 transcripts and higher furanone content than overexpression of FaERF9 295

(Supplemental Figure S4 Supplemental Table S3) Subcellular localization analysis 296

revealed that FaMYB98 was also localized in the nucleus (Supplemental Figure S5) 297

298

To investigate the potential interactions between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 the 299

DUALhunter system was used (Figure 9) Cells expressing the FaMYB98 and 300

FaERF9 protein pair using either FaMYB98 or FaERF9 as the bait grew on DDO 301

QDO and QDO supplemented with 1 mM 3-AT selective medium indicating 302

interaction between the two proteins This putative protein-protein interaction was 303

confirmed by BiFC assay and the combinations of FaMYB98-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC 304

and FaERF9-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC exhibited strong coincident signals in the 305

12

nucleus while negative controls produced no detectable fluorescence signal (Figure 306

10) In addition coexpression of FaERF9-YFPNFaERF9-YFPC as well as 307

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

the nucleus (Figure 10) 310

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Detection of DMMF and HDMF 462

Automated HS-SPME-GC-MS was performed to detect both furanones in lsquoYuexinrsquo 463

strawberry fruit (Zorrilla-Fontanesi et al 2012) Samples were ground into a powder 464

under liquid nitrogen for analysis 465

466

For the detection of DMMF (Figure 1) 05 g (fresh weight) of each sample was 467

weighed in the vial to which was added 1 mL of EDTA solution (100 mM pH 75) 1 468

mL of CaCl2 solution (mv = 20) and 20 microL of 2-octanol as the internal standard 469

(007 μgμL) The mixture was homogenized and the vial closed and placed on the 470

sample tray for analysis by CombiPAL autosampler (CTC Analytic CA USA) The 471

fruit volatiles were sampled by headspace solid-phase microextraction with a 65-μm 472

polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene fibre (PDMS-DVB) Initially vials were 473

pre-incubated at 50degC for 10 min under continuous agitation (500 rpm) then volatiles 474

were extracted for 30 min at the same temperature and agitation speed After that the 475

fibre was desorbed in the GC injection port for 5 min in splitless mode The 7890A 476

GC chromatograph was equipped with a DB-5ms column (60 m times 250 μm times 1 μm 477

a 10-mL tube and 300 μL of CH2Cl2 and 20 microL of 2-octanol (0766 μgμL) as the 493

internal standard were added to extract the volatiles the mixture was then 494

homogenized again The tubes were stored at room temperature for 20 min and 495

centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 5 min The subnatant was pipetted into a clean 15-mL 496

tube in which 20 mg of anhydrous sodium sulphate was added the tube was left 497

without shaking for half an hour Then 150 μL of the solution was transferred into a 498

GC vial and placed on the sample tray as described above Each sample (1 μL) was 499

injected using the autosampler and the analysis was accomplished by a 7890A 500

GC-MS system (Agilent Technologies JampW Scientific Folsom CA USA) equipped 501

with a DB-WAX column (30 m times 025 mm times 025 μm JampW) Helium (12 mLmin) 502

was used as a carrier gas The injection port (splitless injection mode) interface and 503

MS source temperatures were as described above The oven temperature was set at 504

60degC for 4 min then increased to 180degC at a rate of 4degCmin and maintained for 30 505

min DMMF was identified by comparison of electron ionization mass spectra and 506

retention time data with the data from the NISTEPANIH mass spectral library 507

(NIST-08 and Flavor) HDMF (Figure 1) was identified and qualified by comparison 508

with injected standard (Sigma) The quantitative analysis of both furanones (Figure 4 509

Dual-Luciferase Assays 559

In accordance with a previous protocol (Yin et al 2010) the full-length cDNAs of 560

FaAP2ERF or FaMYB98 transcription factors were cloned into pGreen II 0029 561

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

μL of promoter the effect of the mixtures that contained each transcription factor (05 574

mL) and empty vector SK (05 mL) was also tested on the promoter as a control 575

FaMYB98-YFPNFaMYB98-YFPC also generated signals in the nucleus indicating 308

that FaERF9 and FaMYB98 both could form homodimers or possibly multimers in 309

Discussion 312

The AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry 313

The AP2ERF superfamily of plant transcription factors is defined by the AP2ERF 314

domain and comprises the ERF AP2 and RAV families as well as one soloist member 315

(Riechmann et al 2000 Weirauch and Hughes 2011) The completion of multiple 316

plant genome sequences has enabled a genome-scale analysis of the AP2ERF family 317

which in recent years has been systematically studied in diverse fruit species such as 318

tomato grape peach and kiwi fruit (Zhuang et al 2009 Sharma et al 2010 Licausi 319

et al 2010 Yin et al 2010 Pirrello et al 2012 Zhang et al 2012 Zhang et al 320

2016) A few AP2ERF genes have been isolated and characterized in strawberry and 321

CBF orthologs (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 2014) have 322

been identified from different strawberry cultivars in several independent studies 323

Although they have distinct names eg Fragaria times ananassa CBF1 (FaCBF1) 324

FaCBF4 (GenBank HQ9105151) and CBF1 (GenBank EU1172142) according to 325

the phylogenetic tree generated in this study the orthologs of 326

CBF1CBF4CBF2CBF3 in Arabidopsis are similar to each other and to FaERF20 327

(Supplemental Figure S1) (Owens et al 2002 Koehler et al 2012 Zhang et al 328

2014) FaERF20 has 85 sequence similarity with FaCBF1 identified by Owens et 329

al (2002) 93 similarity with FaCBF4 amplified by Koehler et al (2012) and 75 330

similarity with CBF1 cloned by Zhang et al (2014) The AP2ERF genes 331

characterized in other studies (Jia et al 2011 GAO et al 2015 Chai and Shen 2016 332

Mu et al 2016) are also noted in Supplemental Table S1 333

334

Based on the computational analysis we have identified a total of 120 AP2ERF 335

wwwplantphysiolorgon February 25 2020 - Published by Downloaded from Copyright copy 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists All rights reserved

13

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

14

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

16

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Detection of DMMF and HDMF 462

Automated HS-SPME-GC-MS was performed to detect both furanones in lsquoYuexinrsquo 463

strawberry fruit (Zorrilla-Fontanesi et al 2012) Samples were ground into a powder 464

under liquid nitrogen for analysis 465

466

For the detection of DMMF (Figure 1) 05 g (fresh weight) of each sample was 467

weighed in the vial to which was added 1 mL of EDTA solution (100 mM pH 75) 1 468

mL of CaCl2 solution (mv = 20) and 20 microL of 2-octanol as the internal standard 469

(007 μgμL) The mixture was homogenized and the vial closed and placed on the 470

sample tray for analysis by CombiPAL autosampler (CTC Analytic CA USA) The 471

fruit volatiles were sampled by headspace solid-phase microextraction with a 65-μm 472

polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene fibre (PDMS-DVB) Initially vials were 473

pre-incubated at 50degC for 10 min under continuous agitation (500 rpm) then volatiles 474

were extracted for 30 min at the same temperature and agitation speed After that the 475

fibre was desorbed in the GC injection port for 5 min in splitless mode The 7890A 476

GC chromatograph was equipped with a DB-5ms column (60 m times 250 μm times 1 μm 477

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

μL of promoter the effect of the mixtures that contained each transcription factor (05 574

mL) and empty vector SK (05 mL) was also tested on the promoter as a control 575

genes in octoploid strawberry (Supplemental Table S1) The number of predicted 336

AP2ERF genes (120) is comparable to those observed in other fruits including 337

tomato (112) Chinese plum (116) citrus (126) and peach (131) but lower than those 338

reported for grape (149) (Xie et al 2016) As shown in Supplemental Table S2 79 339

(95 genes) of the AP2ERF genes belong to the ERF family in strawberry constituting 340

the largest sub-family The members of this sub-family can be classified into 10 341

groups (group I to X) according to their sequence similarities to the Arabidopsis ERF 342

genes (Nakano et al 2006) The AP2 family encompasses the same number of genes 343

in Arabidopsis citrus and strawberry (eighteen) (Nakano et al 2006 Xie et al 2014) 344

and there are six RAV genes in strawberry which are highly conserved in dicots such 345

as Vitis vinifera Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa (Licausi et al 2010) 346

347

Role of FaERF9 in regulating the biosynthesis of HDMF a positive regulator 348

acting in an indirect manner 349

The large-scale screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry led to 350

identification of 11 ERFs and 1 RAV that trans-activated the FaQR promoter more 351

than two-fold with the highest activation caused by FaERF9 which trans-activated 352

the FaQR promoter (Figure 2) as well as up-regulating FaQR expression and furanone 353

production in transient overexpression assays (Figure 4) which has been extensively 354

used to explore the fruit-associated gene functions in strawberry (Han et al 2015 355

Medina-Puche et al 2015 Vallarino et al 2015 Carvalho et al 2016 Song et al 356

2016 Wang et al 2018) FaERF9 transcripts accumulate in the fruit apical section 357

before the basal section (Figure 3) a finding consistent with the actual changes in 358

furaneol content (Figure 1) and the expression of FaQR (Figure 1) The association 359

between FaERF9 transcripts and accumulation of furanones were also established 360

with different strawberry cultivars The correlation between FaERF9 and FaQR 361

expression as well as furanone content among cultivars supports a positive role of 362

FaERF9 in regulating furanone content (Figure 5) These results indicate that 363

FaERF9 transcript abundance may be a good indicator of the abundance of these 364

important flavour volatiles in fruits of different cultivars This should be considered as 365

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

15

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

Detection of DMMF and HDMF 462

Automated HS-SPME-GC-MS was performed to detect both furanones in lsquoYuexinrsquo 463

strawberry fruit (Zorrilla-Fontanesi et al 2012) Samples were ground into a powder 464

under liquid nitrogen for analysis 465

466

For the detection of DMMF (Figure 1) 05 g (fresh weight) of each sample was 467

weighed in the vial to which was added 1 mL of EDTA solution (100 mM pH 75) 1 468

mL of CaCl2 solution (mv = 20) and 20 microL of 2-octanol as the internal standard 469

(007 μgμL) The mixture was homogenized and the vial closed and placed on the 470

with a DB-WAX column (30 m times 025 mm times 025 μm JampW) Helium (12 mLmin) 502

was used as a carrier gas The injection port (splitless injection mode) interface and 503

MS source temperatures were as described above The oven temperature was set at 504

60degC for 4 min then increased to 180degC at a rate of 4degCmin and maintained for 30 505

min DMMF was identified by comparison of electron ionization mass spectra and 506

retention time data with the data from the NISTEPANIH mass spectral library 507

(NIST-08 and Flavor) HDMF (Figure 1) was identified and qualified by comparison 508

with injected standard (Sigma) The quantitative analysis of both furanones (Figure 4 509

Supplemental Table S3 and Supplemental Figure S3) was determined using the peak 510

area of the internal standard as a reference based on total ion chromatogram (TIC) 511

The promoter of FaQR was cloned by Genome Walking as previously described (Yin 550

et al 2010) and conserved cis-element motifs in the promoter were manually 551

searched 552

553

Conserved domains within the FaAP2ERF proteins and FaMYB98 were analysed by 554

CD-search (httpswwwncbinlmnihgovStructurecddwrpsbcgi) and cellular 555

locations of proteins including FaERF9 and FaMYB98 were predicted with the 556

Dual-Luciferase Assays 559

In accordance with a previous protocol (Yin et al 2010) the full-length cDNAs of 560

FaAP2ERF or FaMYB98 transcription factors were cloned into pGreen II 0029 561

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

μL of promoter the effect of the mixtures that contained each transcription factor (05 574

mL) and empty vector SK (05 mL) was also tested on the promoter as a control 575

FaERF9-SK construct described above for the dual-luciferase assays and the binary 589

vector constructed according to Liu et al 2013 The transfection of fruit was carried 590

out at the G stage (Hoffmann et al 2006) The FaERF9-SK construct and binary 591

vector were individually electroporated into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 and 592

the Agrobacterium culture suspended in infiltration buffer was infiltrated into the 593

whole fruit using a syringe As a control treatment fruits were infiltrated with 594

Agrobacterium carrying an empty vector SK under the same transfection conditions 595

Fruits were left attached to the plants and harvested on the seventh day after 596

infiltration Fruits of three biological replicates were sampled for further analysis 597

a method for high-throughput variety screening to replace direct measurement of 366

volatiles 367

368

FaERF9 is a member of the ERF group II family and is most closely related to the 369

Arabidopsis genes At1g44830 (ATERF014) At1g21910 (DREB26) and At1g77640 370

(Supplemental Figure S1) At1g44830 was observed to be strongly up-regulated in a 371

comprehensive microarray analysis of the root transcriptome following NaCl 372

exposure (Jiang and Deyholos 2006) At1g21910 (DREB26) was functionally 373

characterized as a trans-activator localized in the nucleus exhibiting tissue-specific 374

expression and participating in plant developmental processes as well as biotic andor 375

abiotic stress signalling (Krishnaswamy et al 2011) However none of these genes 376

have been reported as furanone regulators In strawberry another five genes 377

(FaERF6 FaERF7 FaERF8 FaERF10 and FaERF11) also belong to the same 378

group with FaERF8 also showing somewhat weaker activation activity towards the 379

FaQR promoter than FaERF9 The fact that FaERF9 could not bind directly to the 380

promoter of FaQR (Figure 6) indicates that it might function as an indirect regulator 381

of FaQR and furaneol biosynthesis 382

383

A FaERF9 and FaMYB98 complex is involved in regulating FaQR and furaneol 384

biosynthesis 385

The finding that FaERF9 could interact with FaMYB98 protein (Figures 9 and 386

Figure 10) and that FaMYB98 could physically bind to the FaQR promoter (Figure 6 387

and Figure 7) provides evidence for a regulatory mechanism whereby FaERF9 388

regulates FaQR and furaneol production as part of a complex with an MYB 389

transcription factor Since co-overexpression of FaERF9 and FaMYB98 resulted in 390

much higher activation activity towards FaQR we speculate that FaERF9 may 391

recruit FaMYB98 homologs in tobacco to activate the FaQR promoter (Figure 8) 392

FaOMT is another key gene for furanone biosynthesis and a potential target for 393

transcriptional activation However FaERF9 did not significantly activate the 394

FaOMT promoter in a dual-luciferase assay and the transcript level of FaOMT in the 395

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

FaERF9-overexpressing fruits showed no significant difference from that in the 396

control (Supplemental Figure S6 Supplemental Figure S7) The FaOMT promoter 397

was significantly induced by FaMYB98 but no synergistic effect of FaERF9 and 398

FaMYB98 on the promoter was observed (Supplemental Figure S6) In previous 399

studies of the regulation of plant volatile compounds MYBs have been characterized 400

as being involved mainly in the regulation of the benzenoidphenylpropanoid pathway 401

that produces floral volatiles in petunia and eugenol in ripe strawberry fruit (Verdonk 402

et al 2005 Dal Cin et al 2011 Colquhoun et al 2011 Spitzer-Rimon et al 2012 403

Medina-Puche et al 2015) but their role in formation of volatiles from other 404

pathways has not been reported Our study demonstrates a role for MYB in the 405

synthesis of furaneol a carbohydrate-derived volatile compound and reveals the 406

synergistic interactions between an MYB and ERF in a transcription complex (Figure 407

8 Figure 9 and Figure 10) 408

409

Recent research has provided evidence for interactions between AP2ERF and MYB 410

transcription factors in regulating other aspects of fruit quality including texture 411

(EjAP2-1 and EjMYB Zeng et al 2015) and colour (PyERF3 and PyMYB114 Yao 412

et al 2017) A group VIII ERF has also recently been shown to interact with an MYB 413

to regulate floral scent production in petunia (Liu et al 2017) In strawberry fruit 414

DOF in combination with an MYB has been reported to be involved in the regulation 415

of eugenol production and the identification of this second transcription factor (DOF) 416

suggests that it is a good target in breeding for improved flavour (Molina-Hidalgo et 417

al 2017 Tieman 2017) Considering its important contribution to flavour in 418

strawberry and many other highly valued fruit crop species (pineapple tomato mango 419

etc) very little is known about regulation of furaneol synthesis Here we established 420

the role of FaERF9 in the regulation of HDMF synthesis by direct protein-protein 421

interactions with FaMYB98 to synergistically trans-activate FaQR The functional 422

identification of this complex enhances our knowledge of the regulation of volatile 423

compound synthesis and identifies a new AP2ERF-MYB complex Further 424

examination of the other ERFs that stimulated transcription from the FaQR promoter 425

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

The strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa cv lsquoYuexinrsquo an octoploid cultivar) fruit used in 443

this study were bred by Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences (Haining 444

Zhejiang) Fruits at various developmental and ripening stages including G (green) T 445

(turning) IR (intermediate red) and R (full red) were harvested (Figure 1) and 446

transported to the laboratory within 2 h Thirty-six fruits of uniform size and free of 447

visible defects were selected at each stage with twelve fruits in each biological 448

replicate After removing the calyces fruits were then divided into the basal and 449

apical sections which were sampled separately (Figure 1) They were rapidly cut into 450

(Figure 2) may provide additional information about the complexity of this regulation 426

Overall this study provides important clues for understanding the transcriptional 427

regulation of HDMF synthesis and identifies specific transcription factors that are 428

likely to be good targets for molecular breeding for improved flavour 429

430

Conclusions 431

Screening of the AP2ERF superfamily in strawberry (Fragaria times ananassa) 432

identified candidate members capable of activating the FaQR promoter An ERF 433

transcription factor was identified as a positive regulator of HDMF synthesis in 434

strawberry fruit and the mechanism of activation was shown to involve an ERF-MYB 435

transcription complex that regulates transcription of FaQR leading to the biosynthesis 436

of HDMF the characteristic volatile compound which has a major influence on 437

strawberry aroma 438

a 10-mL tube and 300 μL of CH2Cl2 and 20 microL of 2-octanol (0766 μgμL) as the 493

internal standard were added to extract the volatiles the mixture was then 494

homogenized again The tubes were stored at room temperature for 20 min and 495

centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 5 min The subnatant was pipetted into a clean 15-mL 496

tube in which 20 mg of anhydrous sodium sulphate was added the tube was left 497

without shaking for half an hour Then 150 μL of the solution was transferred into a 498

GC vial and placed on the sample tray as described above Each sample (1 μL) was 499

injected using the autosampler and the analysis was accomplished by a 7890A 500

GC-MS system (Agilent Technologies JampW Scientific Folsom CA USA) equipped 501

with a DB-WAX column (30 m times 025 mm times 025 μm JampW) Helium (12 mLmin) 502

was used as a carrier gas The injection port (splitless injection mode) interface and 503

MS source temperatures were as described above The oven temperature was set at 504

60degC for 4 min then increased to 180degC at a rate of 4degCmin and maintained for 30 505

min DMMF was identified by comparison of electron ionization mass spectra and 506

retention time data with the data from the NISTEPANIH mass spectral library 507

(NIST-08 and Flavor) HDMF (Figure 1) was identified and qualified by comparison 508

with injected standard (Sigma) The quantitative analysis of both furanones (Figure 4 509

Supplemental Table S3 and Supplemental Figure S3) was determined using the peak 510

area of the internal standard as a reference based on total ion chromatogram (TIC) 511

Gene isolation and analysis 533

Multiple database searches were performed to identify members of the strawberry 534

(Fragaria times ananassa) AP2ERF superfamily in the published strawberry databases 535

and annotations of Fragaria times ananassa and Fragaria times vesca by using the 536

AP2ERF DNA binding domain as a query sequence and 120 genes were identified 537

with AP2ERF domain(s) Based on the BLAST result primers (listed in 538

Supplemental Table S5) were used to amplify the coding full-length cDNAs of 539

AP2ERF genes The deduced amino acid sequences of AP2ERF proteins in 540

Arabidopsis thaliana used for construction of a phylogenetic tree were obtained from 541

the Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) Alignment of the proteins was 542

performed using the neighbour-joining method in ClustalX (v181) and the 543

FaMYB98 was obtained by yeast one-hybrid screening sequencing and the full-length 546

sequences were predicted by BLAST Primers were designed (listed in Supplemental 547

Table S5) to amplify the full-length coding sequence 548

549

The promoter of FaQR was cloned by Genome Walking as previously described (Yin 550

et al 2010) and conserved cis-element motifs in the promoter were manually 551

searched 552

553

Conserved domains within the FaAP2ERF proteins and FaMYB98 were analysed by 554

CD-search (httpswwwncbinlmnihgovStructurecddwrpsbcgi) and cellular 555

locations of proteins including FaERF9 and FaMYB98 were predicted with the 556

Dual-Luciferase Assays 559

In accordance with a previous protocol (Yin et al 2010) the full-length cDNAs of 560

FaAP2ERF or FaMYB98 transcription factors were cloned into pGreen II 0029 561

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

μL of promoter the effect of the mixtures that contained each transcription factor (05 574

mL) and empty vector SK (05 mL) was also tested on the promoter as a control 575

Dual-Luciferase Assays 559

In accordance with a previous protocol (Yin et al 2010) the full-length cDNAs of 560

FaAP2ERF or FaMYB98 transcription factors were cloned into pGreen II 0029 561

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

μL of promoter the effect of the mixtures that contained each transcription factor (05 574

mL) and empty vector SK (05 mL) was also tested on the promoter as a control 575

558

Dual-Luciferase Assays 559

In accordance with a previous protocol (Yin et al 2010) the full-length cDNAs of 560

FaAP2ERF or FaMYB98 transcription factors were cloned into pGreen II 0029 561

62-SK vector and the promoter of FaQR was cloned into pGreen II 0800-LUC vector 562

A luciferase gene from Renillia (REN) driven by a 35S promoter in the LUC vector 563

acted as a positive control The above constructs were transiently expressed in 564

Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by Agrobacterium-mediated infiltration (strain 565

GV3101) and the activity of the TFs on the promoter was measured on the third day 566

after infiltration indicated by the ratio of enzyme activities of firefly luciferase (LUC) 567

and renilla luciferase (REN) using a Modulus Luminometer (Promega Madison WI 568

USA) To determine the activity of a specific transcription factor towards the 569

promoter we mixed the Agrobacterium culture with 1 mL of TF and 100 μL of 570

promoter and the LUCREN value of the empty vector SK on the promoter was set as 571

1 as a calibrator To test the combined effect of two transcription factors on the 572

promoter to the Agrobacterium culture mixture we added 05 mL of each TF and 100 573

μL of promoter the effect of the mixtures that contained each transcription factor (05 574

mL) and empty vector SK (05 mL) was also tested on the promoter as a control 575

(intermediate red stage) R (full red stage) B Changes in the contents of furaneol 713

(HDMF) and mesifurane (DMMF) HDMF content was calculated using a standard 714

curve of HDMF while DMMF content was calculated with an internal standard as the 715

reference C Expression levels of FaQR and FaOMT The expression levels of each 716

gene were calculated relative to corresponding values in the basal section at the R 717

stage SEs were calculated from three replicates and LSD values represent the least 718

significant differences at p = 005 719

The DUALhunter system (Dualsystems Biotech Switzerland) was used to investigate 638

the interaction between FaERF9 and FaMYB98 Full-length coding sequences of 639

FaERF9 and FaMYB98 were respectively cloned into pDHB1 bait vector and 640

pPR3-N prey vector sequences were verified and the bait plasmid was 641

co-transformed with prey plasmid into NMY51 in the combinations below 642

medium-Trp-Leu) QDO (SD medium-Trp-Leu-His-Ade) and QDO+3-AT (QDO 647

medium supplemented with 1 mM 3-amino-124-triazole) The control plasmid 648

pOst1-NubI was used to determine whether the bait was functional the pPR3-N prey 649

vector plasmid was used to test whether the bait displayed non-specific background 650

and positive interactions were indicated by the growth of yeast on QDO and 651

QDO+3-AT plates The Primers used in the DUALhunter assay are listed in 652
