摘要： Although sugars and acids have a substantial influence on the taste of apple fruits, the genetic and regulatory networks underlying their metabolism in fruit remain insufficiently determined. To fully decipher the genetic basis of the accumulation of sugars and acids in apple fruits, we adopted an integrated strategy that included time-course RNA-seq, QTL mapping, and whole-genome sequencing to examine two typical cultivars ('HanFu' and 'Huahong') characterized by distinctive flavors. Whole-genome sequencing revealed substantial genetic variation between the two cultivars, thereby providing an indication of the genetic basis of the distinct phenotypes. Constructed co-expression networks yielded information regarding the intra-relationships among the accumulation of different types of metabolites, and also revealed key regulatory nodes associated with the accumulation of sugars and acids, including the genes MdEF2, MdPILS5, and MdGUN8. Additionally, on the basis of QTL mapping using a high-density genetic map, we identified a series of QTLs and functional genes underlying vital traits, including sugar and acid contents. Collectively, our methodology and observations will provide an important reference for further studies focusing on the flavor of apples.
