This study employed a variety of techniques and an integrative multi-omics approach to identify novel molecular components involved in fruit skin lignosuberization. Using the corky Sikkim cucumber as a model system, the research shed light on the fundamental cellular machineries and metabolic processes underlying fruit skin lignosuberization. The large-scale data generated serves as a valuable resource for studying skin periderm tissue formation and suberin metabolism in fleshy fruits.
Suberized and/or lignified (i.e. lignosuberized) periderm tissue appears often on surface of fleshy fruit skin by mechanical damage caused following environmental cues or developmental programs. The mechanisms underlying lignosuberization remain largely unknown to date. Here, we combined an assortment of microscopical techniques with an integrative multi-omics approach comprising proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics to identify novel molecular components involved in fruit skin lignosuberization. We chose to investigate the corky Sikkim cucumber (Cucumis sativus var. sikkimensis) fruit. During development, the skin of this unique species undergoes massive cracking and is coated with a thick corky layer, making it an excellent model system for revealing fundamental cellular machineries involved in fruit skin lignosuberization. The large-scale data generated provides a significant source for the field of skin periderm tissue formation in fleshy fruit and suberin metabolism.
