| Abstract | Centaurea cyanus is a popular garden plant native to Europe. Although their petals show abundant colour variations, the flavonoid profiling and the potential molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we collected six cornflower cultivars with white, pink, red, blue, mauve and black petals. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array and tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to investigate the comparative profiling of flavonoids both qualitatively and quantitatively. Ten anthocyanins, six flavones and two flavonols were separated and putatively identified. Except for white petals without any anthocyanins, both pink and red flowers contained pelargonidin derivatives, whereas blue, mauve and black petals accumulated cyanidins. The expression patterns of genes involved in the flavonoid biosynthesis were performed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. The anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in white petals was inhibited starting from flavanone 3-hydroxylase, resulting in the absence of anthocyanin accumulation. The open reading frame of flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase in pink and red petals was truncated; this led to loss of a haem binding site, a conserved motif in the cytochrome P450 family, and loss of conversion from dihydrokaempferol to dihydroquercetin. The significantly higher expression of structural genes corresponding to the hyper-accumulation of flavonoids in black petals may play an important role in black coloration. Remarkably, the mauve and blue petals accumulated the same cyanidin derivative but contained apigenin with different modifications on the 4' position, which may cause the coloration differences. The results obtained in this study will provide insights into the mechanisms of vivid colour diversities in cornflower. |
