Integrated Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis Reveals Possible Molecular Mechanisms of Leaf Growth and Development in Disanthus cercidifolius var. longipes.

ABSTRACT: Background:Disanthus cercidifolius var. longipes is an ancient relic plant unique to China. However, the typical shade-loving plant is largely exposed to the sun, which poses a major challenge to its conservation. Methods: This study explored dynamic changes in primary and secondary metabolites in D. cercidifolius leaves at different stages of development, combining metabolomics and transcriptome analysis to discuss the differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Results: The DAMs and DEGs were enriched in pathways related to photosynthesis, carbon (C) metabolism, anthocyanin synthesis, plant hormone signal transduction, and flavonoid synthesis. At the initial stage of leaf development, many primary meta
