[0058] According to PrimeScript TMRT-PCR Kit (Takara, Japan) instruction manual. Detect the expression levels of the FaLEC2 gene in the infected strawberry fruits of the control group and the experimental group. The primers used are FaLEC2-F (5’-GCTGTGGATCAGAGATGTCC-3’) / FaLEC2-R (5’-GCTTACCTGCACTTTCGAAG-3’), FaActin-F (5’-GACAGGTGTTGTGGTAGACG-3’) / FaActin-R (5’-ACGGACTTGATGCTGCTCCC-3’). The results are as follows Figure 2 , the expression level of the FaLEC2 gene in the fruits of the experimental group was significantly increased compared with that of the control group, indicating that the FaLEC2 gene was overexpressed in strawberry fruits.

[0059] <Determination of metabolites in strawberry fruits overexpressing the FaLEC2 gene>

[0060] The strawberry fruits with FaLEC2 gene overexpression in the experimental group and the fruits in the control group were ground into powder, 50 mg of powder was weighed, and 1200 μL of 70% methanol / water (1:1) internal standard extract precooled at -20°C was added. The internal standard extract was prepared by dissolving 1 mg of standard in 1 mL of 70% methanol water to prepare 1000 μg / mL standard stock solution, and the 1000 μg / mL stock solution was further diluted with 70% methanol to prepare 250 μg / mL internal standard solution; vortex once every 30 minutes, each time for 30 seconds, and vortexed 6 times in total; centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 3 minutes, the supernatant was aspirated, and the sample was filtered with a 0.22 μm pore size microporous filter membrane and stored in an injection bottle. The separation was performed using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography system equipped with an ACQUITY Premier HSS T3 Column (1.8 μm, 2.1 mm×100 mm, Waters, UK) chromatographic column. Mobile phase A was 0.1% formic acid / water; mobile phase B was 0.1% formic acid / acetonitrile; column temperature was 40°C, flow rate was 0.4 mL / min, injection volume was 4 μL; gradient elution program: 0-2 min, 80% mobile phase A; 2-5 min, 5-60% mobile phase B; 6-7.5 min, 99% mobile phase B; 7.6-10 min, 1-95% mobile phase A. The eluent was collected in positive and negative ion modes using a tandem mass spectrometer AB TripleTOF (Waters, UK); in positive ion mode, the ionization voltage was 5000 V and the ion source temperature was 550°C; in negative ion mode, the ionization voltage was -4000 V and the ion source temperature was 450°C; data were collected in ESI mode, with a mass range of 50-1000 Da for MS1 and a collection time of 0.2 s, and a mass range of 25-1000 Da for MS2 and a collection time of 0.04 s. The raw data from the mass spectrometer were converted into mzXM format by ProteoWizard, and the XCMS program was used for peak extraction, alignment, and retention time correction. The peaks with a missing rate of >50% in each group of samples were filtered, and the blank values ​​were filled by KNN, and the peak area was corrected by the SVR method. The peaks after correction and screening were identified by searching the laboratory's self-built database, integrating public libraries, prediction libraries, and metDNA methods for metabolite identification. Finally, substances with a comprehensive score of more than 0.5 and a QC sample CV value of less than 0.5 were extracted and identified, and then the positive and negative modes were merged. Based on the variable importance projection (VIP) obtained by the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model, differential metabolites were preliminarily screened out, and metabolites with VIP>1 were significantly different. At the same time, combined with the P-value of the univariate analysis, the differential metabolites were further screened out, and P≤0.01 was extremely significant.

[0061] The results are as follows Figure 3Compared with the fruits of the control group that did not overexpress the FaLEC2 gene, the contents of vinblastine, 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulose acid, rubiside and linolenic acid in the strawberry fruits of the experimental group that overexpressed the FaLEC2 gene increased significantly, indicating that the FaLEC2 gene can positively regulate the metabolism of vinblastine, 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulose acid, rubiside and linolenic acid in strawberry fruits.
