Background: Oil crop varieties are currently subjected to an increasing worldwile demand and the tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) attracts significant attention because of its huge capacity of lipids production. In eukaryotic cells, the balance between the accumulation of lipids and the distribution of certain pivotal molecules is fundamental for the regulation of many complex transcriptional regulatory networks. However, many studies have struggled to understand the dynamic of lipids and the transcriptomic mechanisms governing their biosynthesis and accumulation process during plant development.
Results: Our results displayed dynamic patterns for key lipids like glycolipid, phospholipid, and glyceride during the development of tiger nut tubers. Lipidomic analysis showed molecular species distribution of lipid class during developing stages. Here, we also characterrized transcription profiles of key transcripts that determined biosynthesis and distribution of natural lipids in tiger nuts tuber. The expression of FAD2 exhibited a significant influence on the molecular composition of phosphatidylcholines (PC) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE) in tiger nuts. Moreover, during lipids accumulation, the expression pattern of three candidate transcripts of oleosin genes (OLE9, OLE10 and OLE11) also displayed significant leverage on the size of lipid drops.
Conclusion: We described the significant alterations in the composition of lipids class during developing stages of tiger nut tuber, we also revealed transcriptional profiles of genes invloed in lipid biosynthesis and accumulation. These results provided new landscapes for research on lipid composition, synthesis and accumulation during different developmental stages of plant tubers.
