Article Synopsis
- Sunburn stress is a major environmental factor that negatively impacts the growth and quality of Chinese olives, which are grown in tropical and subtropical regions of South China.
- The study investigates the effects of varying levels of sunburn on olive fruits by focusing on changes in physiology, biochemistry, metabolic processes, and gene expression, using techniques like transcriptomics and metabolomics.
- Results showed significant alterations in antioxidant capacities and enzyme activities, with enriched biosynthesis pathways for polyphenols and flavonoids, ultimately leading to increased levels of these compounds in fruits under sunburn stress.
Article Synopsis
- Canarium album fruits show promise for both food and medicinal uses due to their varied active metabolites that affect pharmacological properties.
- Using non-targeted metabolomics, researchers identified 87 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs), including 17 types of flavonoids, across four cultivars of C. album.
- The study found significant differences in metabolome compositions linked to flavonoid biosynthesis pathways, with key structural and transcription factor genes playing crucial roles in the variations among cultivars.
