Metabolome and transcriptome landscapes reveal potential genes and metabolites involved in formation of leaf color in red-leafed apple mutants
Leaf color mutations in plants serve as valuable resources for investigating metabolic pathways related to biosynthesis of chlorophyll, flavonoid, and carotenoid. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the physiological characteristics, transcriptomes, and metabolomic profiles of a mutant of Malus hupehensis var. p...
