Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analyses reveal the differentially expressed metabolites and genes involved in lipid in olive fruits.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Olive (Olea europaea L.) oil is well-known commercial product worldwide for its nutritional and therapeutic properties. The molecular mechanisms underlying lipid variations in different olive cultivars remain unclear.

Methods

To investigate the molecular mechanism involved in lipid synthesis and metabolism, untargeted metabolome and RNA-Seq analyses were performed based on two varieties of olive fruits, i.e., Kalinjot (JZ) with low oil content and Coratina (KLD) with high oil content.

Results

Totally, 38 lipid compounds of 375 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were identified in JZ and KLD fruits, with 24 metabolites showing higher contents in KLD than those in JZ. Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analyses identified 48 diff
