Comprehensive Analysis of Metabolome and Transcriptome Reveals the Regulatory Network of Coconut Nutrients.

ABSTRACT: Coconut flesh is widely consumed in the market for its good flavor. However, a comprehensive and dynamic assessment of the nutrients in coconut flesh and their molecular regulatory mechanisms is lacking. In this study, the metabolite accumulation and gene expression of three representative coconut cultivars belonging to two subspecies were investigated using ultra performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 6101 features were detected, of which 52, 8, and 158 were identified as amino acids and derivatives, polyamines, and lipids, respectively. The analysis of the metabolite pathway showed that glutathione and α-linolenate were the main differential metabolites. Transcriptome data revealed significant differences in the expression of five glutathione structural ge
