Genome-wide screen and multi-omics analysis reveal OGT1 participate in the biosynthesis of safflower flavonoid glycosides.

ABSTRACT: Safflower, an economic crop, is renowned for its flowers, which are widely used in medicines for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and in dyes for food and industry. The utility of safflower depends on its flavonoid glycosides. Therefore, the biosynthesis of safflower flavonoid glycosides has been a focus of attention, but the present mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aims to identify functional genes associated with flavonoid glycoside biosynthesis in safflower through a comprehensive approach that integrates whole-genome screen and multi-omics correlation studies. CYP and UGT are two crucial genes families involved in flavonoid glycoside biosynthesis. We have screened 264 CYP genes and 140 UGT genes in the genome of safflower and conducted analyzes includ
