Transcriptome and metabolome profiling unveil the accumulation of chlorogenic acid in autooctoploid Gongju.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gongju is recognized as one of the four traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, and its main constituents are chlorogenic acid (CGA) and its derivative material. CGA content in autooctoploid Gongju are considerably elevated compared with those in parental tetraploid Gongju at different flowering stages. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing the regulation CGA content remain poorly understood.

Methods

Therefore, we conducted integrated transcriptome and metabolome analyses of different flowering stages in autooctoploid and tetraploid Gongju to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms governing CGA biosynthesis.

Results

Transcriptome analysis showed that the number of differentially expressed genes in the budding stage (BS), early flowering
