Biosynthetic Mechanism of Key Volatile Biomarkers of Harvested Triggered by Spore Release.

In this study, headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, multivariate analyses, and transcriptomics were used to explore the biosynthesis of key volatiles and the formation of spores in () . Among the 50 volatiles identified, 1-octen-3-ol, phenethyl alcohol, and several esters were considered key aromas because of their higher odor activity values. Eleven volatiles were screened as biomarkers by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis showed that these biomarkers could represent all volatiles to distinguish the spore release stage.
