Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses provide insights into metabolic networks during Fragaria nilgerrensis fruit development and ripening.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fragaria nilgerrensis is a wild diploid strawberry species that represents a rich source of genetic variations with potential for enhancing fruit quality traits. However, the transcriptional regulation of changes in fruit quality relevant metabolites during F. nilgerrensis fruit development and ripening has not been investigated. Thus, this study analyzed the changes and accumulation of sugars, organic acids, phenolic acids and flavonoids at the four developmental stages of F. nilgerrensis fruit.

Results

D-sucrose, raffinose, D-trehalose, melibiose and isocitric acid increased as fruit developed. In terms of phenolic acids and flavonoids, cinnamic acid, hydroxycinnamic acid, coumarin, coniferin, anthocyanidins, rutin, and nicotiflorin accumulated as fruit develope
