Abstract: The photosynthesis characteristics and photosynthetic related gene expression of high-yield mulberry varieties Esang 1 (E1) and control mulberry variety Husang 32(H32) were studied to provide a theoretical basis for high-efficiency breeding of mulberry trees and screening of germplasm resources. Using LI-6400XT mulberry leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, chlorophyll content and ribulose carboxylase(RUBP) activity were measured simultaneously, transcriptome sequencing was performed on the peaks and valleys of mulberry photosynthesis curves, and the differences in photosynthetic related gene expression among different mulberry varieties were compared. The results of photosynthetic variation of E1 and H32 showed that the Pn peak of E1 leaves was significantly larger than that of H32(P<0.05), and the peak of Tr of H32 leaves was significantly larger than that of E1 (P<0.05). In the Pn-PAR and Pn-Ci responses of different mulberry leaves, CE and CSP were E1>H32, AQY, LCP, LSP and CCP were H32>E1. The ability of E1 to achieve photosynthetic product accumulation under weaker light intensity is stronger than that of H32, and the utilization efficiency of E1 to low concentration CO2 is better than that of H32; among the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of different mulberry varieties, ΦPSII and qP of E1 leaves were significantly higher than H32 (P<0.05), and NPQ of H32 was significantly larger than E1 (P<0.05), indicating that the light energy absorbed by H32 leaves was mainly dissipated in the form of heat energy; the chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and chlorophyll content of H32 were significantly lower than E1(P<0.05), and the RUBP activity of E1 was higher than that of H32(P>0.05), indicating that the photosynthetic capacity of E1 was better than that of H32. 3 356 DEGs were found in different varieties and different time periods. The metabolic pathway analysis showed that there were 1 136 DEGs annotated to the KEEG database. The photosynthesis-related metabolic pathways significantly enriched by DEGs were mainly photosynthetic carbon sequestration, carbon metabolism, porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. Photosynthetically related metabolic pathways. A total of 10 new genes related to photosynthesis were screened for highly differentially expressed genes with FC≥2 and FDR<0.01. The four DEGs, Mulberry_newGene_3646, Mulberry_newGene_1405, Mulberry_newGene_2419 and Mulberry_newGene_320, may be the key genes causing the difference in net photosynthetic rate and yield between H32 and E1, which can be studied intensively.
