′Nanguo′ pear (Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim.) is a typical climacteric fruit with an attractive aroma after postharvest ripening. Esters are the key volatile compounds determining the typical aroma formation. However, the mechanism of aroma-related ester formation remains largely unknown. In this study, we performed transcriptome and metabolome analyses to reveal the changes of aroma-related compounds during pear ripening in the optimal taste period (OTP). During the pear ripening process, typical fatty acid-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are transformed from aldehydes, alcs., and ketones to esters, where Et hexanoate, hexyl acetate, and Et butanoate are the dominant esters in the OTP. Rich aroma-related esters in the OTP are associated with the accumulation of important precursors of aroma volatiles, including linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, γ-linolenic acid, and oleic acid. Genes encoding key biosynthetic enzymes are associated with the altered levels of aroma-related esters. The candidate genes associated with the high levels of aroma-related esters in ′Nanguo′pears are PuFAD2, PuLOX2, PuLOX5, and PuAAT. Addnl., transcription factor (TF) genes such as PuWRKY24, PuIAA29, and PuTINY may play crucial roles in aroma formation during fruit ripening. Hence, we summarized the TFs that regulate VOC metabolism in different fruit species. The results provided a foundation for further research on aroma-related esters in ′Nanguo′ pears and could help to elucidate the mechanisms regulating fruit quality improvement.
