Transcriptome-based analysis of key functional genes in the triterpenoid saponin synthesis pathway of Platycodon grandiflorum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Platycodon grandiflorum (P. grandiflorum) is a commonly used medicinal plant in China. Transcriptome sequencing studies of different tissues of P. grandiflorum have been widely conducted. However, studies on transcriptome sequencing and expression patterns of key genes in the saponin synthesis pathway of Tongcheng P. grandiflorum, a high-quality medicinal resource of different years, are relatively limited.

Results

This study involved transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of the roots from annual, biennial, and triennial P. grandiflorum in the Tongcheng area. After data filtering and assembly, we obtained 111.44 Gb of clean base data, including 742,880616 clean reads. We identified 5,156 differential expression unigenes between at least two sample g
