Integrated RNA-Seq and Metabolomics Analyses of Biological Processes and Metabolic Pathways Involved in Seed Development in <i>Arachis hypogaea</i> L.

ABSTRACT: In peanut cultivation, fertility and seed development are essential for fruit quality and yield, while pod number per plant, seed number per pod, kernel weight, and seed size are indicators of peanut yield. In this study, metabolomic and RNA-seq analyses were conducted on the flowers and aerial pegs (aerpegs) of two peanut cultivars JNH3 (Jinonghei) and SLH (Silihong), respectively. Compared with SLH, JNH3 had 3840 up-regulated flower-specific differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 5890 up-regulated aerpeg-specific DEGs. Compared with the JNH3 aerpegs, there were 4079 up-regulated variety-specific DEGs and 18 up-regulated differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) of JNH3 flowers, while there were 3732 up-regulated variety-specific DEGs and 48 up-regulated DAMs in SLH flowers.
