Transcriptome and metabolome analyses of anthocyanin biosynthesis in post-harvest fruits of a full red-type kiwifruit (Actinidia arguta) 'Jinhongguan'.

ABSTRACT: Anthocyanin is the main component of pigment in red-fleshed kiwifruit. 'Jinhongguan' is a new cultivar of Actinidia arguta with red peel and flesh after harvest. However, the specific types of anthocyanin in the 'Jinhongguan' fruit and its biosynthesis pathways remain largely unknown. Here, the total anthocyanin content in the fruit color conversion process was determined. The results showed that total anthocyanin content increased with the deepening color of the peel and flesh. To identify the genes related to anthocyanin biosynthesis and the types of anthocyanins in the 'Jinhongguan' fruit, a combined analysis of transcriptome and anthocyanin-targeted metabolome was carried out. A total of 5751 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at different stages of peel and flesh were
