Abstract
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are commonly used to regulate maturation in strawberry. Despite this, comprehensive assessments of the metabolomic effects of PGRs on strawberry maturation are lacking. In this study, a nuclear magnetic resonance-based approach, combined with multivariate and pathway analysis, was used to evaluate the regulatory effects of gibberellin, forchlorfenuron, and brassinolide, applied at two different maturation stages, on the expression of metabolites in strawberry. The results demonstrated that the PGRs differentially influenced metabolism, whether applied at the same or different maturation stages. Additionally, we also discovered that these different PGRs exhibited some similar metabolic trends when applied at the same growth period. Our findings validate the use of NMR-based metabolomics for identifying subtle changes in the expression of metabolites associated with PGR application.
