红肉苹果( Malus pumila var. medzwetzkyana Dieck )、紫叶李( Prunus cerasifera Ehrhar f )和紫叶桃( Prunus persica 'Atropurpurea' )是蔷薇科中重要的观赏植物。其果实和叶子的颜色对其外观和营养质量至关重要。然而,对五彩蔷薇科植物多汁果实和叶子中黄酮类化合物的定性和定量研究还缺乏。为了揭示这三个品种中黄酮类化合物的多样性和品种特异性,我们利用超高性能液相质谱(UPLC-MS/MS)对黄酮类代谢成分进行了比较分析。结果共检测出311种代谢物,其中黄酮类化合物47种、黄酮醇类105种、查尔酮类16种、二氢黄酮类37种、二氢黄酮醇8种、花青素30种、黄酮碳苷14种、黄烷醇23种、异黄酮8种、单宁11种、原花青素12种。值得注意的是,虽然紫李和桃叶表现出不同的花青素化合物,但芍药苷和紫苑苷苷很常见,但显示出不同的糖基化水平。绿紫叶桃果(PEF)和红肉苹果叶(AL)的花青素含量最低,但总黄酮含量最高。相反,红肉苹果果实(AF)显示出最高的花青素含量和多种花青素糖基化修饰,表明花青素主要影响果实的颜色。 紫色 PLF、PLL 和 PEL 显示出不同浓度的花青素,表明它们的颜色是由特定类型的花青素与次生代谢物(例如黄酮醇、类黄酮和二氢类黄酮)之间的共色相互作用产生的。这项研究为具有不同果实和叶子颜色的蔷薇科植物组织代谢物的变化提供了新的见解。

Analysis of flavonoid metabolism of compounds in succulent fruits and leaves of three different colors of Rosaceae
Red flesh apple (Malus pumila var. medzwetzkyana Dieck), purple leaf plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrhar f), and purple leaf peach (Prunus persica ‘Atropurpurea’) are significant ornamental plants within the Rosaceae family. The coloration of their fruits and leaves is crucial in their appearance and nutritional quality. However, qualitative and quantitative studies on flavonoids in the succulent fruits and leaves of multicolored Rosaceae plants are lacking. To unveil the diversity and variety-specificity of flavonoids in these three varieties, we conducted a comparative analysis of flavonoid metabolic components using ultra-high-performance liquid phase mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The results revealed the detection of 311 metabolites, including 47 flavonoids, 105 flavonols, 16 chalcones, 37 dihydroflavonoids, 8 dihydroflavonols, 30 anthocyanins, 14 flavonoid carbon glycosides, 23 flavanols, 8 isoflavones, 11 tannins, and 12 proanthocyanidins. Notably, although the purple plum and peach leaves exhibited distinct anthocyanin compounds, paeoniflorin and corythrin glycosides were common but displayed varying glycosylation levels. While the green purple leaf peach fruit (PEF) and red flesh apple leaf (AL) possessed the lowest anthocyanin content, they exhibited the highest total flavonoid content. Conversely, the red flesh apple fruit (AF) displayed the highest anthocyanin content and a diverse range of anthocyanin glycosylation modifications, indicating that anthocyanins predominantly influenced the fruit's color. Purple PLF, PLL, and PEL showcased varying concentrations of anthocyanins, suggesting that their colors result from the co-color interaction between specific types of anthocyanins and secondary metabolites, such as flavonols, flavonoids, and dihydroflavonoids. This study provides novel insights into the variations in tissue metabolites among Rosaceae plants with distinct fruit and leaf colors.
