Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses provide insights into metabolic networks during Fragaria nilgerrensis fruit development and ripening.
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 4 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
backgroundFragaria nilgerrensis is a wild diploid strawberry species that represents a rich source of genetic variations with potential for enhancing fruit quality traits. However, the transcriptional regulation of changes in fruit quality relevant metabolites during F. nilgerrensis fruit development and ripening has not been investigated. Thus, this study analyzed the changes and accumulation of sugars, organic acids, phenolic acids and flavonoids at the four developmental stages of F. nilgerrensis fruit.
resultsD-sucrose, raffinose, D-trehalose, melibiose and isocitric acid increased as fruit developed. In terms of phenolic acids and flavonoids, cinnamic acid, hydroxycinnamic acid, coumarin, coniferin, anthocyanidins, rutin, and nicotiflorin accumulated as fruit developed. Conversely, contents of sinapoyl malate, coniferaldehyde, sinapinaldehyde, coniferyl alcohol, quercetin, gallocatechin, eriodictyol, luteolin, phloretin, and naringenin were decreased. The expression levels of key structural genes that corresponded with metabolite changes were identified. These genes included RFS (LOC101297814) and IDH(LOC101296705) in saccharide and organic acid metabolism, PAL (LOC101315259), BG (LOC101313585), F5H (LOC101307828), CCR (LOC101315149), CAD (LOC101306416 and LOC101309917), GT5 (LOC101296671), CHS(LOC101298162 and LOC101298456), LAR(LOC101306809), FLS(LOC101303260, LOC101309876, and LOC101302485), and ANR (LOC101292386) in phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways. Correlation analysis revealed that multiple transcription factor families were involved in the saccharide, phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis, among which, AUX/IAA (LOC101298379), WRKY (LOC101302596), and AP2/ERF(LOC101295372)TFs were significantly correlated with saccharide synthesis. The effects of AP2/ERF (LOC101291560), AUX/IAA (LOC101298379), MYB (LOC105352442), and WRKY (LOC101302596 and LOC101295677) TFs were significantly correlated with cinnamic acid accumulation.
conclusionsThis study identified key metabolites, structural genes, and transcription factors influencing fruit quality-related metabolic changes during fruit development in F. nilgerrensis. These findings may facilitate the utilization of wild strawberry resources for breeding novel cultivars.
