Integrative physiological, transcriptome, and metabolomic unveil the chilling responses of two melon genotypes

The physiological indicators, transcriptome, and metabolome of two melon varieties with contrasting chilling tolerance (‘162’, chilling-tolerant; ‘13-5A’ ,chilling-sensitive) were analyzed under chilling stress. Two melon varieties with contrasting chilling tolerance (‘162’, chilling-tolerant; ‘13-5A’ ,chilling-sensitive) were analyzed under 4℃ chilling stress at 0h and 12h.
