Multiomics joint analysis reveals the potential mechanism of differences in the taproot thickening between cultivated ginseng and mountain-cultivated ginseng.

ABSTRACT: Panax ginseng is an important medicinal plant in China and is classified into two types: cultivated ginseng (CFCG) and mountain-cultivated ginseng (MCG). The two types of genetic varieties are the same, but the growth environments and management practices are different, resulting in substantial differences in their taproot morphology. Currently, there is a paucity of research on the internal mechanisms that regulate the phenotypic differences between cultivated ginseng and mountain-cultivated ginseng. In this study, we explored the potential mechanisms underlying their phenotypic differences using transcriptomic and metabolomic techniques. The results indicate that the taproot thickening of CFCG was significantly greater than that of MCG. Compared with MCG-4, MCG-10, and MCG-18, the diamet
