Abstract

Mango is flavour-rich fruit and considered as king of fruit in India. About 578 volatile compounds have so far been identified in various cultivars. These are believed to accumulate differentially during the course of ripening. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of aroma in mango, de novo transcriptome assembly and analysis of Mangifera indica (Dashehari) were performed by Illumina sequencing. Mining of transcriptome data led to identification of major genes related to most of the genes of terpenoid, carotenoid, flavonoid, lactone, lipoxygenase, aromatic amino acid, alkaloid, and phenylpropanoid pathways, which are potentially involved in aroma biosynthesis. Comparative mRNA expression analysis in five Mango varieties (Dashehari, Banganpalli, Ratna, Mallika, and Alphonso) revealed varietal and ripening-related differences. To gain further insight into the terpenoid pathway, these genes were further studied in different tissues and developmental stages in Dashehari mango. This study is stepping stone to understand aroma pathways in different varieties of mango fruit.

Highlights

• Aroma-related differentially expressed genes were identified from Dashehari transcriptome data.

• MVA pathway genes were pronounced as compared to MEP genes in Dashehari fruit.

• Comparative mRNA expression analysis in five Mango varieties revealed variety and zone-specific differences.

• This study shows that aroma biosynthesis is under complex variety–specific regulation.
