Integration of full-length transcriptomes and anthocyanin metabolite analysis for understanding fruit coloration mechanism in Schisandra chinensis.

ABSTRACT: Coloration directly affects the commercial value of Schisandra chinensis fruits. The composition and content of anthocyanin determine the S. chinensis fruit coloration. However, the molecular mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis and regulation in this fruit remains unknown. In this study, we performed integrative full-length transcriptomics and targeted metabolomics analyses in S. chinensis fruits at four different developmental stages to elucidate the coloration mechanism. Cyanidin3-O-xyl-rutinoside is the key anthocyanin, which is responsible for the reddening of S. chinensis fruits, and its accumulation gradually accelerated from the 80th day after fluorescence. Overall, 122,289 unigenes with an average length of 2592 bp and an N50 of 4232 bp were obt
