Dissection of Metabolome and Transcriptome-Insights into Capsaicin and Flavonoid Accumulation in Two Typical Yunnan Xiaomila Fruits.

Pepper is an economically important vegetable worldwide, containing various specialized metabolites crucial for its development and flavor. Capsaicinoids, especially, are genus-specialized metabolites that confer a spicy flavor to fruits. In this work, two pepper cultivars, YB ( L.

Global analysis of expression profile of members of DnaJ gene families involved in capsaicinoids synthesis in pepper (Capsicum annuum L).

Background: The DnaJ proteins play critical roles in plant development and stress responses. Recently, seventy-six DnaJ genes were identified through a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis in the pepper genome. However, there were no reports on understanding of phylogenetic relationships and diverse expression profile of pepper DnaJ genes to date.

Analysis of the ASMT Gene Family in Pepper ( L.): Identification, Phylogeny, and Expression Profiles.

Acetylserotonin methyltransferase (ASMT) in plant species, one of the most important enzymes in melatonin biosynthesis, plays a rate-limiting role in the melatonin production. In this study, based on the whole genome sequence, we performed a systematic analysis for the ASMT gene family in pepper ( L.) and analyzed their expression profiles during growth and development, as well as abiotic stresses.
