摘要： Background Plant metabolites reshaped by nature and human beings are crucial for both their lives and human health. However, which metabolites respond most strongly to selection pressure at different evolutionary stages and what roles they undertake on perennial fruit crops such as peach remain unclear. Results Here, we report 18,052 significant locus-trait associations, 12,691 expression-metabolite correlations, and 294,676 expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) for peach. Our results indicate that amino acids accumulated in landraces may be involved in the environmental adaptation of peaches by responding to low temperature and drought. Moreover, the contents of flavonoids, the major nutrients in fruits, have kept decreasing accompanied by the reduced bitter flavor during both domestication and improvement stages. However, citric acid, under the selection of breeders' and consumers' preference for flavor, shows significantly different levels between eastern and western varieties. This correlates with differences in activity against cancer cells in vitro in fruit from these two regions. Based on the identified key genes regulating flavonoid and acid contents, we propose that more precise and targeted breeding technologies should be designed to improve peach varieties with rich functional contents because of the linkage of genes related to bitterness and acid taste, antioxidant and potential anti-cancer activity that are all located at the top of chromosome 5. Conclusions This study provides powerful data for future improvement of peach flavor, nutrition, and resistance in future and expands our understanding of the effects of natural and artificial selection on metabolites.
