India's mango productivity is hindered by many factors but more importantly due to limited understanding of the genomic complexities behind regular bearing habit. This study is the first to quantify carbohydrate fractions, protein content, and macro and micronutrient storage pools, their transportation, and contributions to regular 'Totapuri' and alternate bearer 'Bombay Green' mango varieties during the 'off' year. Deep RNA sequencing was used to assess gene expression dynamics between buds and flowers of these varieties. Differential pathway analysis showed the greatest number of differentially expressed genes in metabolic processes (1377), followed by oxido-reductase (879), hormone (80), oxidative stress (77), starvation (39), alternate bearing (8), flowering (3), meristem (3), and cellular component (2) pathways. In silico analysis showed that among 15 genes, twelve genes up-regulated in Totapuri and three in Bombay Green, confirmed by qRT-PCR. Additionally, 202 SNPs were identified in 32 alternate bearing-related genes. The study confirmed the reproductive bud's strong ability to import sugars, protein, and starch in the regular bearer variety, enhancing flowering and fruiting during off years. The mineral nutrients and biochemical constituent of the bud and leaf tissue in contrasting genotypes, showed the potential role for regular bearing in mango |
