Analysis of critical metabolites and enzyme activities in the ascorbic acid and glutamate biosynthetic pathways. A-C Analysis of differential metabolite accumulation patterns in L. barbarum fruits harvested at four different periods. D-I Analysis of GalLDH, APX, AAO, MDHAR, GOGAT, and GS activities in L. barbarum fruits harvested at four different periods. Each column shows the average value of three replicated experiments, and bars indicate the standard error of the value. Different lowercase letters denote significant differences at P < 0.05
