Metabolic and molecular mechanisms underlying the foliar Zn application induced increase of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline conferring the ‘taro-like’ aroma in pumpkin leaves
IntroductionFresh pumpkin leaf is popular vegetable for its rich nutrition. The pleasant taro-like odour is important aroma quality of crops, and mostly contributed by 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline in pumpkin. Element Zn can impact metabolite biosynthesis in plants, including aroma formation. However, Zn-ind...
