摘要：

This work was undertaken to study the effects of abscisic acid (ABA) and sodium tungstate (Na2WoO4) as an ABA synthesis inhibitor on carotenoid synthesis in germinated maize. Yellow maize kernels (cv. 'Suyu 29') was soaked in different concentrations of exogenous ABA and germinated. The contents of soluble protein, free amino acids, proline, vitamin C, total phenols and carotenoid, antioxidant enzyme activity, antioxidant capacity, and the expression of the genes associated with carotenoid synthesis in germinated maize were determined. The results showed that ABA increased the contents of soluble protein, free amino acids, proline, vitamin C, total phenols and endogenous ABA in germinated maize compared with the untreated control group. At an ABA concentration of 5 mg/L, the carotenoid content reached the highest level, and the levels of lutein and zeaxanthin increased by 27.6% and 20.1%, respectively, compared with the control group. However, Na2WoO4 inhibited the synthesis of endogenous ABA and reduced the content of carotenoids. Quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results showed that ABA treatment could significantly increase the expression of the genes associated with carotenoid synthesis in germinated maize. Meanwhile, the antioxidant enzyme activity and antioxidant capacity were significantly enhanced. In summary, exogenous ABA treatment can promote endogenous ABA synthesis in germinated maize, and increase the expression of the genes associated with carotenoid synthesis and antioxidant capacity, thus improving nutritional quality. © 2022, China Food Publishing Company.
