Metabolic Profiling of Sugars and Organic Acids, and Expression Analyses of Metabolism-Associated Genes in Two Yellow-Peel Pitaya Species

Researchers profiled sugar and organic acid metabolism across fruit developmental stages in two yellow-peel pitaya species ('WCHL' Hylocereus undatus and 'YCHL' Hylocereus megalanthus), using metabolic and gene expression analyses to track accumulation of phenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, starch, and soluble sugars. The study identifies species-specific patterns in metabolite accumulation and associated gene expression that determine pitaya fruit quality.
