Metabolic Profiling and Gene Expression Analysis Unveil Differences in Flavonoid and Lipid Metabolisms Between ‘Huapi’ Kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia Swingle) and Its Wild Type

To elucidate the mechanism underlying special characteristic differences between a spontaneous seedling mutant ‘Huapi’ kumquat (HP) and its wild-type ‘Rongan’ kumquat (RA), the fruit quality, metabolic profiles, and gene expressions of the peel and flesh were comprehensively analyzed. Compared with...
