Integrative metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal the regulatory mechanisms underlying the biosynthesis of flavonoid and terpenoid metabolites in different tissues of Canavalia gladiata

Introduction: and their potential transcriptional regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Methods: , combined with antioxidant capacity and bioactive component content assays, to dissect the regulatory networks of flavonoid and terpenoid biosynthesis. Results: transcription factors as central regulators of flavonoid and terpenoid metabolism in seeds and fruit pericarps. Discussion: , offering a theoretical foundation and valuable genetic resources for the targeted exploitation of its bioactive components and molecular breeding.
