Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the loss of Matsutake mushroom aroma due to storage and biosynthetic mechanism of methyl cinnamate in Tricholoma matsutake. In the fruiting bodies and mycelia of T. matsutake, we examined the relationship among phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, two PAL gene (TmPAL1 and TmPAL2) expression, and methyl cinnamate content. PAL activity, TmPAL2 expression level, and methyl cinnamate content were highest in the gills of the fruiting bodies. Further, when the mycelia were cultured in media supplemented with Phe, PAL activity, TmPAL2 expression level, and methyl cinnamate content increased. These results suggest that TmPAL2 is involved mainly in the biosynthesis of methyl cinnamate. In addition, PAL activity and methyl cinnamate content were examined in the fruiting bodies that were stored for 6 days at 4°C, but the significant effect due to storage was not observed.
