Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation The metabolomic analysis identified more than 15,800 spectral features.
- Observation Metabolic networks differed markedly between domesticated and wild genotypes.
- Observation The two genotypes showed deep topological divergence in metabolite associations.
- Association Domestication reduced overall chemical connectivity.
- Observation The domesticated genotype prioritized lipid, nucleotide and amino acid biosynthesis.
- Observation The wild genotype retained metabolism dominated by flavonoid, terpenoid and phenylpropanoid pathways.
- Observation Targeted quantification supported a trade-off between nutritional optimization and stress resilience.
- Observation The authors interpreted domestication as shifting metabolism from chemical diversity to energetic efficiency.
- Recommendation The authors highlighted wild germplasm as a source for restoring resilience and nutraceutical potential.
