Mechanisms of Major Pigment Accumulation During Fruit Development in Two Physalis Species Based on NGS
To elucidate the metabolic characteristics of pigments in the fruits of P. pubescens and P. alkekengi, and to identify key genes and transcription factors involved in fruit coloration during development, this study focused on the fruit coloration traits of these two species. Fruits were collected at four developmental stages ( green ripening stage, color conversion stage, firm ripening stage, and full ripening stage).
