Characterization of Metabolites and Transcriptome of Pepper Accessions from Four Southern Provinces of China.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a widely grown vegetable and spice crop worldwide. This study aims to reveal the differences of metabolites among pepper accessions from different regions and explore candidate genes related to metabolites of pepper.

Methods

The metabolome and transcriptome of 36 pepper accessions were determined by widely targeted metabolomics analysis and RNA sequencing technology, and the differential metabolites and differential genes among C. annuum from four important pepper production and consumption provinces of China, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan, were analyzed.

Results

Flavonoids are the main characteristic metabolites that distinguish pepper accessions from Yun_Gui_Chuan Group and Hunan Group. The agly
