Integrated Metabolome and Transcriptome Analysis Provides New Insights into the Glossy Graft Cucumber Fruit (Cucumis sativus L.).

ABSTRACT: Cucumber is an important vegetable crop, and grafts often affect the quality and wax loss in cucumber fruit and affect its value. However, their metabolites and molecular mechanisms of action remain unclear. Metabolome and transcriptome analyses were conducted on the fruit peels of self-rooted plants (SR) grafted with white seed pumpkin (WG). The results showed that there were 352 differential metabolites in the fruit peels of the SR and WG. The transcriptome analysis showed 1371 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the WG and SR. These differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in plant hormone signal transduction, cutin, suberin, wax biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and zeatin biosynthesis. By analyzing the correlation between differential metabolites
