Joint analysis of transcriptional metabolism for flavonoid synthesis during different developmental periods in oil palm exocarp.

ABSTRACT: To identify candidate genes for breeding oil palm varieties with high flavonoid content through molecular biotechnology, this study analyzed the metabolomes and transcriptomes of oil palm exocarp at different developmental stages using LC-MS/MS and RNA-Seq techniques. The green fruiting type (FS) oil palm exocarp at 95 days (FS1), 125 days (FS2), and 185 days (FS3) after pollination served as the materials. The enzyme genes F3H, CHS, ANS, and DFR were positively correlated with Quercetin-3-O-sambubioside. DFR also showed positive correlations with Afzelechin, Epiafzelechin, and Baimaside. In contrast, F3H, CHS, and ANS were negatively correlated with Hesperetin-7-O-glucoside. Additionally, CYP73A, UGT73C6, FG2-1, and FG2-2 were negatively correlated with Afzelechin, Epiafzelechin, Querceti
