Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Basis for Methyl Jasmonate to Promote the Synthesis of Monoterpenoids in Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Methyl jasmonate has an important effect on the synthesis of plant secondary metabolites. Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. has a wide range of pharmacological effects and the secondary metabolites are dominated by monoterpenes (pulegone, menthone).

Objective

It is essential to determine the changes in secondary metabolites in S. tenuifolia under methyl jasmonate treatment and to probe the molecular mechanism. This can improve the accumulation of secondary metabolites in the medicinal plant S. tenuifolia and enrich the information gene expression at different MeJA levels, which can help to elucidate the molecular mechanism of monoterpenoid synthesis in S. tenuifolia.

Methods

In this study, we determined the changes in the content of
