Rice–Potato Rotation Pattern Affects 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline Biosynthesis and Productivity in Aromatic Rice Grains by Fengqin Hu, Congcong Shen, Dehao Feng, Shuangbing Zhu, Jian Lu, Jianqiang Zhu, Xianjin Qiu, Kai Chen, Bin Du, Jianlong Xu

“…Regarding 2-AP biosynthesis in grains, in contrast to CK, the RP treatment raised the levels of related precursors (Δ1-pyrroline, Δ1-pyrrolidine-5-carboxylic acid, and proline increased by 8.95%, 18.14%, and 13.75%, respectively) and enzymes (proline dehydrogenase, ornithine transaminase, and diamine oxidase increased by 18.37%, 14.61%, and 11.36%, respectively) in its synthesis pathway, thereby facilitating the accumulation of 2-AP. Furthermore, we also observed a more stable yield and grain 2-AP content in aromatic rice under RP treatment. …”
