Joint Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis Reveals Differential Flavonoid Biosynthesis in a High-Flavonoid Strawberry Mutant.

ABSTRACT: The enriched phenolic content attributes to the promising health benefit of strawberry fruits. On behalf of screening and seeking the breeding material with high phytochemical composition, a mutant (MT) of strawberry 'Benihoppe' (WT) with high total flavonoid content (TFC), especially anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins (PAs), was identified in this study. To investigate the possible reason for these disparities during strawberry fruit development, an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis was conducted using these two specific materials. As a result, a total of 113 flavonoid compounds were detected, a specific anthocyanin, namely, petunidin 3-O-rutinoside was detected for the first time in strawberry. By comparing with the WT fruits, a significant reduction of petunidin
