Transcriptomic Profiling Uncovers Molecular Basis for Sugar and Acid Metabolism in Two Pomegranate (<i>Punica granatum</i>) Varieties by Ding Ke, Yilong Zhang, Yingfen Teng, Xueqing Zhao

“…Transcriptome profiling identified 11 candidate genes involved in sugar and acid metabolism, including three genes associated with soluble sugar metabolism (<i>FBA1</i>, <i>SS</i>, and <i>SWEET16</i>) and eight genes linked to organic acid metabolism (<i>ADH1</i>, <i>GABP1</i>, <i>GABP2</i>, <i>GABP3</i>, <i>GABP4</i>, <i>ICL</i>, <i>ME1</i>, and <i>PDC4</i>). These data indicated that differences in citric acid content between the two varieties mainly stemmed from differences in the regulation of the citric acid degradation pathway, which relies mainly on the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) branch rather than the isocitric acid lyase (ICL) pathway. …”
