Integrated Multi-Omics Approaches Provide Novel Insights into the Mechanisms Underlying Signature Flavor Development in Mulberry Fruits

With the increasing consumption of mulberry fruits in commercial markets, flavor profiles have emerged as critical determinants of consumer preference and market acceptance. This investigation utilized four Morus laevigata (Morus L.) accessions exhibiting pronounced variations in fruit pigmentation and flavor characteristics as experimental materials. Com- prehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spec- trometry (GC × GC-TOF MS) was employed to identify key...
