Abstrakt: Mastication trait of citrus significantly influences the fruit's overall quality and consumer preference. The accumulation of cellulose in fruits significantly impacts the mastication trait of citrus fruits, and the glycoside hydrolase 9 (GH9) family plays a crucial role in cellulose metabolism. In this study, we successfully identified 32 GH9 genes from the Citrus sinensis genome and subsequently conducted detailed bioinformatics analyses of the GH9 family. Additionally, we profiled the spatiotemporal expression patterns of CsGH9 genes across four distinct fruit tissue types and six crucial developmental stages of citrus fruits, leveraging transcriptome data. Parallel to this, we undertook a comparative analysis of transcriptome profiles and cellulose content among diverse fruit tissues spanning six developmental stages. Furthermore, to identify the pivotal genes involved in cellulose metabolism within the GH9 family during fruit maturity, we employed correlation analysis between cellulose content and gene expression in varying tissues across diverse citrus varieties. This analysis highlighted key genes such as CsGH9A2/6 and CsGH9B12/13/14/22. Collectively, this study provides an in-depth analysis of the GH9 gene family in citrus and offers novel molecular insights into the underlying mechanisms governing the mastication trait formation in citrus fruits.
