Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses provide insights into metabolic networks during cashew fruit development and ripening

Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis of Liquid Endosperm of Cocos nucifera L. at Three Stages of Maturation Evidenced Differences in Metabolic Regulation

“…The identification of all these metabolisms have been related with other oilseeds such as cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale L.) [76] and sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) [77], showing similar metabolic profiles associated with simple and complex sugars, organooxygenated compounds, flavonoids and phenolic compounds, amino acids, nucleosides, nucleotides and organic acids during maturation. These compounds are an important fraction of the nutrients in most oilseeds, and they are directly associated with appearance, texture and flavor [78].…”

“…A Venn diagram was created to depict the number of statistically significant rt m/z signals that were shared/unshared between the maturity stages (Figure 1C). The core metabolome consists of 176 rt m/z signals; the immature stage contained the highest number of unique rt m/z signals (76), while the stage with the lowest number of unique rt m/z signals was the mature stage (12). Signals unique to the intermediate stage numbered 20.…”

Comparison of the transcriptome and metabolome of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) proteins content during grain formation provides insight

“…Transcriptome and metabolome data were used to study the accumulation of metabolites and transcriptional changes in the late-maturing cultivar Kate Mango at different stages of fruit development, and a regulatory network related to mango fruit ripening was constructed ( Wu et al., 2022 ). By analysing clusters of metabolites and genes with the same tendencies to change in expression in cashews, 17 genes involved in phosphatidylinositol (PI) synthesis were found, and the transcription factor WRKY11 , which can potentially regulate PI synthesis, was also identified ( Zhao et al., 2022 ). Through poplar transcriptomics and metabolomics, the effects of miR156 on other microRNAs and their targets associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis were revealed ( Wang et al., 2020 ).…”

Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses provide new insights into the appropriate harvest period in regenerated bulbs of Fritillaria hupehensis

“…In recent years, integrative analyses of metabolic and transcriptome data have been performed to investigate secondary metabolic compositions, identify gene functions, and elucidate metabolic pathways during plant development ( Li et al., 2020a ; Bai et al., 2021 ; Zheng et al., 2021 ). Notably, integration efforts have been successfully conducted for the fruit development of model plants ( Li et al., 2020a ), fruits ( Wang et al., 2016 ; Li et al., 2019 ), and nuts ( Wang, H. et al., 2021 ; Zhao et al., 2022 ). Furthermore, the effective application of multiple omics analyses has been witnessed in investigating the mechanism of medicinal plant secondary metabolite biosynthesis and identifying gene functions ( Xu et al., 2020 ; Si et al., 2022 ; Wu et al., 2022 ).…”
