Abstract Carotenoids, as important members of photosynthetic system and antioxidant system in plants, play important roles in plant growth and responding to stress. In order to study the effects of lycopene β-cyclase (Lcyb) and brassinazole-resistant 1 (BZR1) genes on the regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis, the virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system of Lcyb and BZR1 gene mediated by Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) was constructed in pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Shan Zao hong'). The gene expression of Lcyb and BZR1 and seedlings of RNAi lines were obtained by vein injection. The uninfected pepper plants were used as the normal control, the infected plants with TRV2-PDS gene were used as the positive control, and the infected plants with empty TRV2 vector were used as the negative control. qRT-PCR was used to detect the Lcyb and BZR1 genes expression of silenced pepper, and the accumulation of carotenoids in silenced pepper leaves was determined. Results showed that TRV2-PDS leaves appeared bleaching phenomenon after 21 d, and Lcyb and BZR1 gene expression were significantly lower (P<0.05), and carotenoid content of 2 kinds of silenced pepper leaf was significantly lower than that of normal control plants. It is indicated that Lcyb and BZR1 genes were involved in synthesis of carotenoids in pepper leaf. The study of TRV-mediated gene-silencing could be used for subsequent functional gene identification of pepper.
