Metabolite and transcriptome profiling of russeted and waxy apple skins highlighted genes involved in triterpene-hydroxycinnamate biosynthesis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pentacyclic triterpenes possess numerous biomedical properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-plasmodial activities. Esterification of triterpenic acids with hydroxycinnamic acids such as caffeic acid has been shown to increase their biological potential. In previous studies, we showed that russeted old heritage apple varieties are characterized by the accumulation of suberin in skin tissues [1], which present higher concentrations of specific triterpene esters such as betulinic acid-3-trans-caffeate [2] (Figure 1) as compared to their waxy-skinned counterparts. Knowledge on the molecular events associated with triterpene-caffeate production is however still lacking, although it could be therapeutically of major interest. For that purpose, apple fruits from two nearly isogenic yet contrasting varieties, i.e. 'Reinette du Canada Gris' (russeted skin) and 'Reinette du Canada Blanc' (waxy skin), were collected at five time points during the 2013 growing season. Metabolomics data were obtained by Ultra-Performance Liquid chromatography hyphenated with a high-resolution mass spectrometer (UPLC-TripleTOF HR-MS) and compared with whole gene expression profiling data (RNA-Seq).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
