Abstract During post-harvest storage of Cucumis sativus fruit, the application of trypsin treatment could increase flavonoid compound levels and reduce oxidative damage. To investigate the mechanism of trypsin-induced flavonoid biosynthesis in C. sativus, we conducted a combined analysis of transcriptomics and widely targeted metabolomics. One hundred and seventy-five significantly different metabolites were obtained from metabolomics data. The kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment results indicated that these metabolites were mainly involved in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway. By combining the results of the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) with the 130 upregulated phenylpropanoid metabolites, 22… More >
