ABSTRACT
Cucumber is an important vegetable crop, and grafts often affect the quality and wax loss in cucumber fruit and affect its value. However, their metabolites and molecular mechanisms of action remain unclear. Metabolome and transcriptome analyses were conducted on the fruit peels of self-rooted plants (SR) grafted with white seed pumpkin (WG). The results showed that there were 352 differential metabolites in the fruit peels of the SR and WG. The transcriptome analysis showed 1371 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the WG and SR. These differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in plant hormone signal transduction, cutin, suberin, wax biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and zeatin biosynthesis. By analyzing the correlation between differential metabolites and differentially expressed genes, six candidate genes related to the synthesis of glycitein, kaempferol, and homoeriodictyol were identified as being potentially important. Key transcription factors belonging to the TCP and WRKY families may be the main drivers of transcriptional changes in the peel between the SR and WG. The results of this study have provided a basis for the biosynthesis and regulation of wax loss and quality in grafted cucumbers and represents an important step toward identifying the molecular mechanisms of grafting onto cucumber fruit.
