Comprehensive analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics reveals varied tepal pigmentation across Gloriosa varieties by Yue Sun, Pinli Hu, Yanan Jiang, Zhenzhen Wang, Jiaxing Chang, Yiwei Zhou, Haojing Shao

“…Transcriptomic data unearthed 57 and 92 candidate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) belong to carotenoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway, respectively, with PSY, PDS, DFR, and ANS genes considered as critical genes for the differential accumulation of pigments of Gloriosa tepals. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed significant co-expression patterns between 217 transcription regulatory factors (TFs) and 8 carotenoid biosynthesis genes, and between 194 TFs and 41 anthocyanin biosynthesis genes. qRT-PCR verified the expression patterns of four carotenoid biosynthesis-related genes, eight anthocyanin biosynthesis-related genes, and three transcription regulatory factors. …”
