Article The genetic architecture of the pepper metabolome and the biosynthesis of its signature capsianoside metabolites Graphical abstract Highlights d Genetic and metabolic diversity of two mapping populations in pepper d A new QTL mapping resource for pepper based on a C. annuum 3 C. chinense d Genetic mapping of pepper fruit secondary metabolit...
Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L .) fruit flavor is determined by a combination of multiple volatile compounds, including several derived from lipids and fatty acids. Although fruit flavor has been intensively studied, the linkage between lipid metabolism and flavor remains largely undefined. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS)...
In recent years, multiple advances have been made in understanding the photosynthetic machinery in model organisms. Knowledge transfer to horticultural important fruit crops is challenging and time-consuming due to restrictions in gene editing tools and prolonged life cycles. Using reverse genetics, we characterize a gene encoding a PetM domain-con...
The genetic architecture of the pepper metabolome provides 1 insights into the regulation of capsianoside biosynthesis 2 The pepper secondary metabolome 3 4 Abstract 26 Capsicum (pepper) is among the most economically important species 27 worldwide, the fruit accumulates specialized metabolites with essential roles in 28 plant environmental interac...
Capsicum (pepper) is among the most economically important species worldwide, the fruit accumulates specialized metabolites with essential roles in plant environmental interaction and potential health benefits. However, the underlying genetic basis of their biosynthesis remains largely unknown. In this study, we developed and assessed both wild gen...
Legumes represent an important component of human and livestock diets; they are rich in macro- and micronutrients such as proteins, dietary fibers and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Whilst, several health-promoting and anti-nutritious properties have been associated with grain content, in-depth metabolomics characterization of major legume species re...
Protein complexes are important for almost all biological processes. Hence, to fully understand how cells work, it is also necessary to characterize protein complexes and their dynamics in response to various cellular cues. Moreover, the dynamics of protein interaction play crucial roles in regulating the (dis)association of protein complexes and i...
34 Varying light conditions elicit metabolic responses as part of acclimation with 35 changes in ascorbate levels being an important component. Here, we adopted a 36 genome-wide association-based approach to characterize the response in ascorbate 37 levels on high light acclimation in a panel of 315 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) 38 accessions....
Given that anthropogenic activities are evoking a profound effect on the climate resulting in more extreme events such as severe drought and heat waves while global demand for food is ever-increasing, understanding plant responses to stresses is critical. As metabolites are fundamental for plant growth regulation and plant lifespan and an important...
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/
CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) gene editing has
become a powerful tool in genome manipulation for crop
improvement. Advances in omics technologies, including
genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, allow the
identification of causal genes that can be used to improve
crops. Howe...
Plant respiration is one of the greatest global metabolic fluxes, but rates of respiration vary massively both within different cell types as well as between different individuals and different species. Whilst this is well known, few studies have detailed population-level variation of respiration until recently. The last 20 years have seen a renais...
GWAS involves testing genetic variants across the genomes of many individuals of a population to identify genotype–phenotype association. It was initially developed and has proven highly successful in human disease genetics. In plants genome-wide association studies (GWAS) initially focused on single feature polymorphism and recombination and linka...
Both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) are widely used metabolomics approaches to detect and quantify hundreds of thousands of metabolite features. However, the application of these techniques to a large number of samples is subject to more complex interactions, particularly for genome-...
