Integrated metabolome and transcriptome analysis reveals potential mechanism during the bud dormancy transition of <i>Astragalus membranaceus</i> (Fisch.) Bge. var. <i>mongholicus</i> (Bge.) Hsiao.

ABSTRACT: Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao (AMM) is an important medicinal plant that is used for both medicine and food. It is widely used in Asia and South Asia. It is normally cultivated by transplanting the annual rhizomes. Understanding the dormancy of underground buds of AMM is essential for its harvest and transplantation. Despite thorough research on bud dormancy in perennial woody plants, perennial herbs, and especially medicinal plants, such as AMM, have rarely been studied. We analyzed the transcriptome and non-targeted metabolome of dormant buds stage-by-stage to investigate the regulatory mechanism of the transition from endo- to ecodormancy. A total of 1,069 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) participated in amino acid and car
