Abstract

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a herbaceous plant belonging to the family Caricaceae in the order Brassicales. The shape of papaya fruit was linked to sex, and the fruit of female plants is round, whereas that of hermaphrodites is pyriform. Although fruit shape preferences vary by region, differences in their functionalities have not been investigated. Since unripe fruit, also called green papaya, is known for its nutritional and therapeutic benefits, we performed a metabolome analysis of unripe papaya using liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/time of flight mass spectrometry. We first focused on capraine derivatives, major piperidine alkaloids, and bioactive compounds with significant antiplasmodial activity. Interestingly, carpaine derivatives tended to be altered in the peel and pulp but not in the seed. Multivariate analyses indicated little difference or minor differences to the extent that they can be caused by individual differences in metabolite profiling between the two sexes. Conversely, total polyphenol content and proteolytic activity were also investigated, but there were no differences between females and hermaphrodites for total polyphenol content and proteolytic activity. In conclusion, the metabolome and major functionalities were similar between hermaphrodites and female unripe fruit. However, it would be worth considering the sex of the material fruit, especially when focusing on the functional properties of carpaine derivatives.

比较不同性别未成熟木瓜果实的功能特性。
木瓜(Carica papaya L.)是一种草本植物,属于芸香目荠菜科。木瓜果实的形状与性别有关,雌株的果实为圆形,而雌雄同体的果实为梨形。虽然不同地区对果实形状的偏好各不相同,但尚未对其功能差异进行研究。由于未成熟的果实(又称青木瓜)以其营养和治疗功效而闻名,我们采用液相色谱-四极杆/飞行时间质谱法对未成熟的木瓜进行了代谢组分析。我们首先重点研究了木瓜碱衍生物、主要的哌啶生物碱以及具有显著抗疟活性的生物活性化合物。有趣的是,果皮和果肉中的胭脂虫碱衍生物往往会发生变化,而种子中则不会。多变量分析表明,雌雄两种植物在代谢物谱分析方面几乎没有差异或差异很小,这可能是个体差异造成的。相反,对总多酚含量和蛋白水解活性也进行了研究,但雌性和两性在总多酚含量和蛋白水解活性方面没有差异。总之,雌雄果实的代谢组和主要功能相似。不过,值得考虑的是材料果实的性别,尤其是在关注卡帕因衍生物的功能特性时。

期刊介绍: Plant Biotechnology is an international, open-access, and online journal, published every three months by the Japanese Society for Plant Biotechnology. The journal, first published in 1984 as the predecessor journal, “Plant Tissue Culture Letters” and became its present form in 1997 when the society name was renamed to Japanese Society for Plant Cell and Molecular Biology, publishes findings in the areas from basic- to application research of plant biotechnology. The aim of Plant Biotechnology is to publish original and high-impact papers, in the most rapid turnaround time for reviewing, on the plant biotechnology including tissue culture, production of specialized metabolites, transgenic technology, and genome editing technology, and also on the related research fields including molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, plant breeding, plant physiology and biochemistry, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and bioinformatics.
