Combined analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics reveals the effects of sugar treatment on postharvest strawberry fruit quality.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The composition and accumulation of soluble sugars are key factors influencing the development of fruit flavor, and although the application of fertilizers can increase the postharvest fruit quality, long-term application will cause certain food hazards. Therefore, evaluating the effects of externally applied sugar sources on fruit quality is essential for improving postharvest strawberry quality. In this study, exogenous sugar application significantly enhanced the postharvest quality of ‘Yanli’. Specifically, strawberries treated with 0.2 mol∙L−1 fructose increased the single fruit weight, soluble solids content and soluble sugar content. Based on these results, combined metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses were performed to assess the impact of 0.2 mol∙L−1 fructose treatment. The results showed that broadly targeted metabolomics screened a total of 371 significantly different metabolites, 123 up-regulated and 248 down-regulated. Sugar-targeted metabolomics further revealed a marked increase in fructose content to 43.40 mg∙g−1. Transcriptomic analysis identified 3,506 differentially expressed genes. Integration of transcriptomic and metabolomic data indicated that FaINV and FaSUS are key genes involved in the sugar metabolism pathway. These findings elucidate molecular responses to exogenous sugar treatment and offer a foundation for further investigation of gene functions in postharvest fruit quality regulation.
