Abstract

In order to better understand the changes in fruit quality and soluble sugar components in wild Actinidia eriantha at the soft ripening stage, this study explored the fruit quality indexes, soluble sugar components, sucrose metabolism-related enzyme activities and the expression of sucrose metabolism-related enzyme genes in wild A. eriantha germplasm resources. The results showed that the fruit quality of wild A. eriantha at the soft ripening stage was quite different, and the coefficient of variation of fructose content was the largest, followed by sucrose and glucose. Principal component analysis and systematic clustering analysis showed that the comprehensive performance of fruit quality indexes of M28 and M10 was the most prominent. The accumulation and composition of soluble sugar components in different wild A. eriantha varieties (lines) were not consistent. The activities of sucrose metabolism enzymes among wild A. eriantha varieties (lines) were different to some extent. The sucrose metabolism-related enzyme genes among wild A. eriantha germplasm resources had different expression patterns. The results will contribute to understanding the fruit quality changes and the mechanism of sugar metabolism in wild A. eriantha at the soft ripening stage, and lay a foundation for the protection and utilization of wild A. eriantha germplasm resources.
