Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal phenolic metabolism regulated by melatonin in pear peel by Shuai Yan, Liangliang Zhao, Deying Zhao, Gongxun Xu, Yufei Wang, Zhiqin Zhou, Cungang Cheng

“…Conclusions The pre-harvest application of 100 μM melatonin can help improve the visual and flavor quality of pear fruits. It can influence the key enzyme genes’ expression of phenolic metabolism while stimulating the production of l-phenylalanine, cinnamic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, leucocyanidin and uridine 5ʹ-diphospho-d-glucose, which promote the biosynthesis of anthocyanidins, phenolic acids, and lignins. …”
