Abstract

There is considerable knowledge about plant compounds that produce flavor, scent, and aroma. Aside from the similarities, however, groups of plant-produced nutrients and taste components have little in common with each other. Network analysis holds promise for metabolic gene discovery, which is especially important in plant systems where metabolic networks are not yet fully resolved. To bridge this gap, we propose a joint model of gene regulation and metabolic reactions in two different pepino varieties. Differential metabolomics analysis is carried out for detection of eventual interaction of compound. We adopted a multi-omics approach to profile the transcriptome and metabolome analyze differences in phenolic acids, flavonoids, organic acids, lipids, alkaloids, and sugars between LOF and SRF. The two most predominant classes of metabolites are phenolic acids and lipids in pepino. Overall results show enrichment in most DEGs was carbohydrate and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites pathway. Results of DEMs predominantly comprised N-p-coumaroyl agmatine and tryptamine, and significant differences were observed in their expression between LOF and SRF. Integrated DEMs and DEGs specific networks were constructed by combining two types of networks: transcriptional regulatory networks composed of interactions between DEMs and the regulated genes, and pepino metabolite-metabolite interaction networks. Newly discovered features, such as DEGs (USPA, UBE2 and DELLA) involved in the production of secondary metabolites are found in coregulated gene clusters. Moreover, lipid metabolites were most involved in DEMs correlations by OPLS-DA while identifying a significant number of DEGs co-regulated by SENP1, HMGCS et al. These results further that the metabolite discrepancies result from characterized the nutrients and taste components between two pepino genotype. Among the possible causes of the differences between species in pepino metabolite concentrations is co-regulated by these DEGs, continue to suggest that novel features of metabolite biosynthetic pathway remain to be uncovered. Finally, the integrated metabolome and transcriptome analyses have revealed that many important metabolic pathways are regulated at the transcriptional level. The metabolites content differences observed among varieties of the same species mainly originates from different regulated genes and enzymes expression. Overall, this study provides new insights into the underlying causes of differences in the plant metabolites and suggests that genetic data can be used to improve its nutrients and taste components.
