Integrated volatile metabolomics and transcriptomics in the tobacco-derived fungus Xerochrysium coryli identified 61 volatile metabolites and 17,269 annotated genes linked to aroma-producing pathways.
- Why it matters: The study addresses the lack of molecular-level understanding of how Xerochrysium coryli produces aroma compounds from its volatile metabolite profiles.
- What they did: Researchers combined volatile metabolite dynamics with differential gene expression and pathway enrichment, then built a gene–metabolite–pathway association network.
- The result: Aroma-producing pathways significantly associated with aromatic amino acid conversion, branched-chain amino acid degradation, lipid metabolism/oxidative derivatives, and terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, providing foundational molecular insights into aroma production in Xerochrysium coryli.
