摘　　要：The colorful,nutrient-rich peels of citrus fruits have long been valued for their tangy flavors and aromatic oils.These oils are produced and stored in special secretory structures called oil glands,which are prevalent across citrus varieties(Knight et al.,2001).Oil glands serve as"reservoirs"for diverse metabolites such as terpenes and flavonoids that give citrus fruits their characteristic aroma(Mahato et al.,2019;Voo et al.,2012;Xian et al.,2022).Many of these compounds also act as chemical defenses against pest and pathogens(Fisher and Phillips,2008).
