Profile of two tissues and metabolites of gardenia fruit at different growth stages. (A), Different tissues of gardenia fruits at different growth stages. (B), Heatmap analysis of metabolites of different samples in POS mode. The shades of color indicate more or fewer metabolites, with red representing more and blue representing less. T1 represent green ripe fruits (sampled on July 16), T2 represent semi-ripe fruits (sampled on August 15) and T3 represent yellow ripe fruits (sampled on October 20). Peel (P) and Kernel (K). The heatmap of the NEG mode was shown in the supplemental Fig. S5
