Artocarpus nanchuanensis, a critically endangered tree endemic to Chongqing, China. This dataset integrates widely targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses of fruit at three developmental stages (green mature, color-breaking, complete ripeness), identifying 1,662 metabolites and associated gene expression. It was authored by Shumin Wang and last updated on April 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify optimal harvest times for industrial flavonoid extraction based on metabolite concentration peaks at the color-breaking stage.
• Model regulatory networks for nutritional components like saccharides and vitamins based on the constructed metabolic pathways.
• Investigate the role of specific transcription factors (MYB, ERF, WRKY) in regulating flavonoid and alkaloid synthesis.
• Analyze changes in Vitamin C content (from 570.06 μg/g to 542.16 μg/g) and other metabolites across fruit ripening.
• Discover novel compounds like Anthriscifolcine A, a diterpene alkaloid not previously reported in Moraceae plants.

Strengths

• Integrates two omics layers (transcriptomics and metabolomics) for a multi-faceted view of fruit development.
• Quantifies 1,662 identified metabolites, with flavonoids (18.65%) and alkaloids (7.89%) as major classes.
• Provides specific metabolite concentrations, such as Vitamin C content measured at 570.06 μg/g in green mature fruit.
• Identifies 264 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) enriched in the plant hormone transduction pathway.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a DOCX format (2.5 MB), which may require extraction or conversion for computational analysis.
