Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is an important nut tree species, and its embryo is rich in sugar. We combined metabolomic and transcriptomic data to analyze metabolites and genes related to sugar in two Chinese chestnut cultivars at 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 days after flowering (DAF). The soluble sugar content of high-sugar cultivar at maturity is 1.5 times that of low-sugar cultivar. Thirty sugar metabolites were identified in embryo, with the most dominant being sucrose. Analysis of the gene expression patterns revealed that the high-sugar cultivar promoted the conversion of starch to sucrose by up-regulating genes related to starch degradation and sucrose synthesis at 90-100 DAF. It also strongly increased the enzyme activity of SUS-synthetic, which may promote sucrose synthesis. Gene co-expression network analysis showed that ABA and peroxide were related to starch decomposition during Chinese chestnut ripening. Our study analyzed the composition and molecular synthesis mechanism of sugar in Chinese chestnut embryos, and provided a new insight into the regulation pattern of high sugar accumulation in Chinese chestnut nuts.
