Hetero-grafting affects flavonoid biosynthesis in sweet orange 'Newhall' (Citrus sinensis) peels: a metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Citrus cultivation involves the widespread practice of grafting, which has a significant impact on citrus development and fruit quality and yield. However, understanding the effect of flavonoid compounds after different rootstock grafting have been limited. Flavonoid compounds, found at the highest levels in citrus peels, contribute to improving fruit quality and nutritional value. In this study, scion-rootstock interaction was investigated at various developmental stages when sweet orange 'Newhall' was hetero-grafted with two commonly used rootstocks (Poncirus trifoliate population, C. junos Siebold ex Tanaka). Physiological index detection showed a higher concentration of total flavonoid content in peels of sweet orange 'Newhall' grafted on Poncirus trifoliate population (c
