Dynamic metabolism and transcriptome analysis of flavonoid biosynthesis in apricot fruits

Flavonoids, as secondary metabolites in plants, play important roles in many biological processes and responses to environmental factors. Apricot fruits are rich in flavonoid compounds, and in this study, we performed a combined metabolome and transcriptome analysis of orange flesh (JN) and white flesh (ZS) apricot fruits. A total of 222 differentially accumulated flavonoids and 15855 differentially expressed genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis were identified.
