Combined analysis of carotenoid metabolites and the transcriptome to reveal the molecular mechanism underlying fruit colouration in zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Combined analysis of carotenoid metabolites and the transcriptome to reveal the molecular mechanism underlying fruit colouration in zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.)

To reveal the molecular mechanism underlying peel colouration, carotenoid metabolites and the transcriptome were jointly analysed in zucchini peels with three different colours: light green (Lg), yellow (Y), and orange (O). Our results showed that the carotenoid levels in O (157.075 μg/g) and Y (22....
