The overall purpose of this multi-omics integration was to systematically characterize the flavonoid metabolic network in tomato and to prioritize UGT73C4 as a candidate gene potentially associated with naringin accumulation and to contribute to the understanding of metabolic diversity.
The findings enhance the understanding of how flavonoids modulate flowering time in Chinese cabbage, highlight the metabolic strategies of early-bolting mutants, and reveal potential regulatory networks underlying this trait, thereby providing a foundation for future breeding and cultivation strategies.

: Mint is notably rich in phenolic acids, flavonoids, antioxidants and other bioactive components, and is widely used as food, medicine, spices, and flavoring agents. Thus, metabolite composition serves as a critical indicator for assessing mint quality. In this study, two mint genotypes of Mentha canadensis L., were s...

Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis confirmed that the differential expression of structural genes altered the metabolic flux of the ALA and downstream jasmonic acid pathway, resulting in varied accumulation of core lipid intermediates in Perilla seeds.
It is suggested that sucrose transport to sink organs may be facilitated by increased expression of the bidirectional sugar transporter SWEET14, and sucrose may be hydrolyzed by β-fructofuranosidase, potentially providing energy for plant growth on one hand and contributing to fructose accumulation on the other.
