Integrating metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses to identify candidate genes and transcriptional regulators associated with triterpenoid saponin accumulation in developing Momordica charantia fruits

Momordica charantia is an economically and pharmacologically important vegetable, with its medicinal value largely attributed to its diverse triterpenoid saponins. Although the decline of total saponin content during fruit development is well-documented, the precise metabolic profiles and the underlying molecula...
