“…Earlier studies have clearly indicated that cytokinins (and/or auxins) have flavonoiddependent modulation in plant growth (Kurepa et al, 2023). Similarly, carbohydrates, flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenols, and chlorophyll contents are affected by cytokinin application (Hossain et al, 2023). From these observations, it can be concluded that the differences in the mother plant and mutant metabolome are potentially related to phytohormones.…”

Background: Litchi (Litchi chinensis) is an important sub-tropical fruit in the horticulture market in China. Breeding for improved fruit characteristics is needed for satisfying consumer demands. Budding is a sustainable method for its propagation. During our ongoing breeding program, we observed a litchi mutant with flat leaves and sharp fruit peel cracking in comparison to the curled leaves and blunt fruit peel cracking fruits of the mother plant.Methods: To understand the possible molecular pathways involved, we performed a combined metabolome and transcriptome analysis.Results: We identified 1,060 metabolites in litchi leaves and fruits, of which 106 and 101 were differentially accumulated between the leaves and fruits, respectively. The mutant leaves were richer in carbohydrates, nucleotides, and phenolic acids, while the mother plant was rich in most of the amino acids and derivatives, flavonoids, lipids and organic acids and derivatives, and vitamins. Contrastingly, mutant fruits had higher levels of amino acids and derivatives, carbohydrates and derivatives, and organic acids and derivatives. However, the mother plant’s fruits contained higher levels of flavonoids, scopoletin, amines, some amino acids and derivatives, benzamidine, carbohydrates and derivatives, and some organic acids and derivatives. The number of differentially expressed genes was consistent with the metabolome profiles. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway-enriched gene expressions showed consistent profiles as of metabolome analysis.Conclusion: These results provide the groundwork for breeding litchi for fruit and leaf traits that are useful for its taste and yield.
