RESUMEN
In higher plants, light capture of chlorophyll a/b binding protein (Lhc) plays a crucial role in the plant's response to adverse environment. So far, the family has not been systematically identified in grapes. In this study, 20 VvLhcs were identified in the grape genome, which were distributed in 13 of 19 grape chromosomes and divided into 7 developing branches. The results of gene duplication analysis showed that 6 VvLhcs formed fragment duplication events, while there was no tandem duplication in VvLhcs. Exon-intron structure analysis showed that they had a wide number of exons. Protein conserved motif analysis showed that VvLhcs contained more similar motif structures in the same phylogenetic branch. The cis-acting elements in the VvLhcs promoter region mainly respond to light, plant hormones and abiotic stresses. In addition, qRT-PCR results showed that different proportions of salt stress and red-blue light affected the expression of VvLhcs and the expression patterns of genes in different grape varieties were different. The results for further study on different grape varieties in different combinations of red and blue light of the Lhc provide a theoretical basis.

RESUMEN
Hairy roots obtained by infecting broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) leaves with Agrobacterium rhizogenes (ATCC15834) have the characteristics of phytohormone autonomy, genetic stability and can produce a large amount of the anti-cancer substance Sulforaphane (SF) and the biosynthetic precursor Glucoraphanin (GRA). Under the induction of the exogenous signaling molecule methyl jasmonate (MeJA), the production of SF in broccoli hairy roots was significantly increased. However, the molecular mechanism of GRA and SF synthesis in hairy roots of broccoli treated with MeJA has not been reported. In this study, according to the yield of GRA and SF, the best concentration of MeJA treatment for hairy roots of broccoli was selected. After 18 days of growth, broccoli hairy roots were treated with 10 mmol L-1 MeJA for 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 h. Compared with 0 h, the yield of GRA and SF increased under other treatments. The highest yield of GRA and SF occurred at 9 h, which were 2.22-fold and 1.74-fold higher than those at 0 h. Brassica oleracea var. botrytis was used as reference genome, and 5,757 differentially expressed genes (DEG) were observed at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 h under 10 mmol L-1 MeJA treatment, of which 4,673 were down-regulated and 1084 were up-regulated. The key genes regulating GRA synthesis, CYP79F1, CYP83A1, UGT74B1, FMOGS-OX5 and GSL-OH, were up-regulated at 0 and 3 h, and down-regulated the rest of the time; BCAT2 was up-regulated at 6, 9, 12 h, and at 0, 3 h expression was down-regulated, transcription factors MYB28 and MYB29 were down-regulated by exogenous MeJA treatment. A pathway of GRA biosynthesis and transformation pathways in MeJA-treated broccoli hairy roots was simulated and the molecular mechanism of GRA biosynthesis and SF accumulation in broccoli hairy roots under MeJA treatment was revealed.

Sulforaphane (SF) is one of the most effective natural products in preventing and fighting cancer, found in cruciferous plants. In this study, broccoli hairy roots grown for 20 d were used as the experimental material, and it was treated with 500 µmol/L melatonin (MT) for 0, 12 and 32 h to explore the effect of MT on the conversion of glucoraphanin (GRA) to SF. Results showed that the yields of GRA and SF were the largest under MT treatment for 12 h, which were 1.53 and 1.93-fold, respectively, compared to 0 h. However, Myrosinases activity was the highest under MT treatment for 32 h, which was 1.42-fold compared to that of the 0 h. The differential expression of key genes involved in GRA conversion to SF in broccoli hairy roots was identified transcriptome sequencing, and the path of the transformation from GRA to SF was simulated, which provided a theoretical basis for establishing an efficient transformation system from GRA to SF.
RESUMEN
Glucoraphanin (GRA) is found in the seeds and vegetative organs of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Planch) as the precursor of anti-carcinogen sulforaphane (SF). The yield of GRA obtained from these materials is weak and the cost is high. In recent years, the production of plant secondary metabolites by large-scale hairy roots culture in vitro has succeeded in some species. Melatonin (MT) is a natural hormone which existed in numerous organisms. Studies have demonstrated that MT can improve the synthesis of secondary metabolites in plants. At present, it has not been reported that MT regulates the biosynthesis of glucoraphanin in broccoli hairy roots. In this study, the broccoli hairy roots that grew for 20 d were respectively treated by 500 µM MT for 0, 6, 12, 20 and 32. To explore the reason of changes in secondary metabolites and reveal the biosynthetic pathway of glucoraphanin at transcriptional level. Compared with 0 h, the yield of GRA under other treatments was increased, and the overall trend was firstly increased and then decreased. The total yield of GRA reached the highest at 12 h, which was 1.22-fold of 0 h. Then, the genome of broccoli as the reference, a total of 13234 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in broccoli hairy roots under treatment with 500 µM MT for 0, 6, 12, 20 and 32 h, respectively. Among these DEGs, 6266 (47.35%) were upregulated and 6968 (52.65%) were downregulated. It was found that the pathway of 'Glucosinolates biosynthesis (ko00966)' was enriched in the 16th place by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis of the upregulated DEGs. The expression of key genes in the GRA biosynthesis pathway was upregulated at all time points, and a deduced GRA biosynthesis pathway map was constructed for reference.
