Metabolites Detected by Metabolomic Analysis and Displayed onto Schematic Representations of the Biochemical Pathways.

Changes arising from wild-type mature green fruit compared with wild-type ripe fruit. Data correspond to those displayed in Table 2. Green indicates an increased level of metabolite, with a significant to threefold increase in pale green, a threefold to eightfold increase in green, and more than eightfold is dark green. Gray indicates no significant change, while blue indicates that the metabolite was not detected in the samples. White indicates that the compound cannot be detected using the analytical parameters. Red coloration has been used to represent decreased metabolite levels; dark red is below eightfold, red is below twofold to fivefold, and pale red is below twofold. Aco, aconitic acid; l-Asc, ascorbic acid; citramal, citramalic acid; Cit, citric acid; dehydroasc, dehydroascorbic acid; Fum, fumaric acid; Mal, malic acid; 2-oxoglut, 2-oxoglutaric acid; Succ, succinic acid; Thre, threonic acid; 5HT, 5-hydroytryptamine; 5-OxoPRO, 5-oxo-proline; Arab, arabinose; DXP, deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate; F6P, fructose-6-phosphate; G6P, glucose-6-phosphate; 3-CaQuinic, 3-caffeoylquinic acid; CGA, chlorogenic acid; FPP, farnesyl diphosphate; GPP, geranyl diphosphate.
