Molecular and Metabolic Regulation of Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Two Varieties of Dendrobium devonianum.

ABSTRACT: Dendrobium devonianum is an important medicinal plant, rich in flavonoid, with various pharmacological activities such as stomachic and antioxidant properties. In this study, we integrated metabolome and transcriptome analyses to reveal metabolite and gene expression profiles of D. devonianum, both green (GDd) and purple-red (RDd) of semi-annual and annual stems. A total of 244 flavonoid metabolites, mainly flavones and flavonols, were identified and annotated. Cyanidin and delphinidin were the major anthocyanidins, with cyanidin-3-O-(6″-O-p-Coumaroyl) glucoside and delphinidin-3-O-(6″-O-p-coumaroyl) glucoside being the highest relative content in the RDd. Differential metabolites were significantly enriched, mainly in flavonoid biosynthesis, anthocyanin biosynthesis, and fla
