Metabolite differences and molecular mechanism between dehiscent and indehiscent capsule of mature sesame.

ABSTRACT: The loss of sesame capsule seed prior to harvest poses a significant economical challenge in mechanized production. The metabolites involved in capsule closure are still unclear. Using comparative metabolome and transcriptome analysis, this work investigated the molecular regulation and enrichment pathways in two sesame types of indehiscent capsule WanZhi28 (ND) and dehiscent capsule WanZhi2 (WZ2). The findings demonstrated that genes and metabolites were significantly enriched in lignin synthesis-related pathways. Furthermore, data suggests that lipid and sugar metabolism may have an impact on capsule closure. Apart from its function in cell signaling, the latter may contribute to the glycosylation of lignin monomers, while the former may provide ATP for cellular microtubule movement. Thi
