Transcription profile analysis for biosynthesis of flavor volatiles of Tunisian soft-seed pomegranate arils.

Flavor is an important factor affecting the sensory of pomegranate and its products, which easily lose its freshness during processing and storage, but the biosynthesis of flavor-associated compounds is poorly understood until now. In this study, combining metabolome and transcriptome, flavor-associated attributes and volatile compounds of Tunisian pomegranate arils from 7 Chinese regions were studied. Depending on the different planting areas, there were significant differences in the content of sugars, organic acids and vitamin C.
