Vaccinium corymbosum Raw RNA sequence reads. Vaccinium corymbosum breed:Northern Highbush | cultivar:Nui

This transcriptomics experiment was designed to help understand how gene expression patterns of structural enzymes and their transcriptional regulators affect secondary metabolism and metabolite profiles in different blueberry species. Breeding cultivars with improved flavonoid content or composition could improve their value fresh fruit market and also contribute to the development of new processed blueberry products.Berries were derived from cultivated collections of tetraploid Vaccinium corymbosum (Northern Highbush) ‘Nui’ and hexaploid V. virgatum (Rabbiteye) ‘Velluto Blue’. Fruit was harvested at five different developmental stages.

本转录组学（transcriptomics）实验旨在探究结构酶及其转录调控因子的基因表达模式，对不同蓝莓物种次级代谢过程与代谢物谱特征的调控机制。培育黄酮类物质含量或组成得以优化的蓝莓品种，不仅可提升其在鲜果市场的商业价值，还能为新型蓝莓加工产品的研发提供有力支撑。实验所用浆果取自四倍体北方高丛蓝莓（Vaccinium corymbosum，Northern Highbush）‘Nui’与六倍体兔眼蓝莓（V. virgatum，Rabbiteye）‘Velluto Blue’的栽培种质资源。实验果实于五个不同的发育阶段进行采收。
