Transcriptomics and metabolomics reveal the mechanism of metabolites changes in Cymbidium tortisepalum var. longibracteatum colour mutation cultivars.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Foliage color is considered an important ornamental character of Cymbidium tortisepalum (C. tortisepalum), which significantly improves its horticultural and economic value. However, little is understood on the formation mechanism underlying foliage-color variations.

Methods

In this study, we applied a multi-omics approach based on transcriptomics and metabolomics, to investigate the biomolecule mechanisms of metabolites changes in C. tortisepalum colour mutation cultivars.

Results

A total of 508 genes were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between wild and foliage colour mutation C. tortisepalum cultivars based on transcriptomic data. KEGG enrichment of DEGs showed that genes involved in phenylalanine metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthe
