Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic profiling unveils anthocyanin regulation in chemically induced flower color variation of Impatiens hybrida 'Solarscape'.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Impatiens plants are one of the world's top three flower bed floriferous plants with important ornamental and horticultural values, vivid floral colors are more likely to attract pollinators, and one of the important ornamental traits of flowers. This study was conducted to determine whether the flower color of Impatiens can be altered after induction, with the aim of clarifying the molecular basis underlying its variation and to offer a vital reference for developing novel Impatiens varieties. Compared with diploids, the flower color of colchicine-induced Impatiens showed obvious changes, the flowers changed from pinkish purple to orange.

Results

Integrated metabolomics and transcriptomics were comprehensively utilized to reveal the metabolic pathways of anth
