The Critical Role of Phenylpropanoid Biosynthesis Pathway in Lily Resistance Against Gray Mold.

ABSTRACT: Gray mold caused by Botrytis elliptica is one of the most determinative factors of lily growth and has become a major threat to lily productivity. However, the nature of the lily B. elliptica interaction remains largely unknown. Here, comparative transcriptomic and metabolomic were used to investigate the defense responses of resistant ('Sorbonne') and susceptible ('Tresor') lily cultivars to B. elliptica infection at 24 hpi. In total, 1326 metabolites were identified in 'Sorbonne' and 'Tresor' after infection, including a large number of phenylpropanoids. Specifically, the accumulation of four phenylpropanes, including eriodictyol, hesperetin, ferulic acid, and sinapyl alcohol, was significantly upregulated in the B. elliptica-infected 'Sorbonne' compared with
