Sorbitol significantly increases the content of catechin, a flavonoid metabolite in the leaves to cope with R1 fungal infection. A Screening of genes involved in flavonoid metabolism pathways. The differential genes enriched in flavonoid metabolism pathways in Group 1 and Group 4 were integrated, with a fold change ≥ 1 or ≤ 0.5, p-value ≤ 0.05. B Display of the location of differentially expressed genes screened in the flavonoid metabolism pathway. The bar chart represents the expression levels of genes based on transcriptome data. The red triangle represents the genes that will be the focus of the following text. C RT-qPCR analysis of the genes under sorbitol feeding and pathogen infection. D Identification of differential metabolites under sorbitol feeding and pathogen infection. For C and D, a two-tailed Student’s t-test was used (mean ± SD; n = 5)
