ABSTRACT
Lonicera japonica is a ubiquitous medicinal species in China.Winter pruning has long been used to improve its quality and yield, but the mechanism is rarely studied.Therefore, in this study, the growth phenotypes of L.japonica processed with different pruning methods were observed and the yield-and quality-boosting mechanism of pruning was analyzed.Specifically, the young shoots of the three-year old L.japonica were cut to different degrees(heavy pruning, mild pruning, and no pruning, respectively) in winter in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and the growth phenotypes, hormone content, and gene expression of the lateral buds at the sprouting stage and young shoots at the anthesis stage in the next year were analyzed.The result showed that the length, flower bud number, internode length, and node number of young shoots in the next year were in the order of heavy pruning>mild pruning>no pruning.The content of auxin and zeatin in apical buds of young shoots at the anthesis stage was the highest in the heavy pruning group, followed by the mild pruning group, and coming in the third was the no pruning group.The content of auxin and zeatin in lateral buds at the sprouting stage was in the order of no pruning>mild pruning>heavy pruning.Transcriptome analysis of the lateral buds at sprouting stage yielded the differentially expressed genes related to auxin and cytokinin, such as Lj1A1163T36, Lj3A719T115, Lj7C657T7, Lj9C505T15, and Lj9A505T70.In conclusion, the growth phenotypes of young shoots of L.japonica processed with different pruning methods in winter were related to the difference in hormone content in the apical buds.Therefore, winter pruning influenced the content of auxin and cytokinin in new shoots of L.japonica and further regulated the expression of hormone-related genes, thereby promoting shoot growth and increasing the yield of L.japonica.
