Metabolomic Analysis Identifies Differences Between Wild and Domesticated Chili Pepper Fruits During Development (Capsicum annuum L.).

ABSTRACT: Capsicum spp. members are a rich source of specialized compounds due to their secondary metabolism. Some metabolic pathways have suffered modifications during the domestication process and improvement of agricultural traits. Here, we compared non-targeted LC-MS profiles from several areas: wild accessions (C. annuum L. var. glabriusculum), domesticated cultivars (C. annuum L.), and the F1 progeny of a domesticated, and a wild accession cross (in both directions) throughout seven stages of fruit development of chili pepper fruits. The main detected differences were in glycerophospholipid metabolism, flavone and flavonol biosynthesis, sphingolipid metabolism, and cutin biosynthesis. The domesticated group exhibited a higher abundance in 12'-apo-β-carotenal, among
