Transcriptomic and Non-Targeted Metabolomic Analysis of the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Fruit Deformity in Jiande Glutinous Rice Luffa (PRJCA047371)
This study investigates the underlying causes of fruit deformity in Jiande glutinous rice loofah through an integrated analysis of transcriptomic and metabolomic data. Jiande glutinous rice loofah is a pentagonal-shaped loofah, representing a traditional landrace variety. The plant materials were cultivated in single-layer plastic greenhouses located in Jiande City,Hangzhou, under standard soil, irrigation, and fertilizer management conditions, without any additional experimental treatments. Only phenotypically distinct fruits,straight fruits(JDS)and malformation fruits(JDM),were selected for sample collection.
