Genome-wide identification of starch metabolism gene families in Potentilla anserina and the expression pattern in response to abiotic stress factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The tuberous roots of Potentilla anserina (Pan), which are called silverweed cinquefoil roots, serve as a source of starch for the inhabitants of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. They are also regarded as a valuable tonic food and herbal medicine in the ethnic medicine system. Starch plays a crucial part in the plant's life cycle, particularly during the growth stage and in response to abiotic stress. Moreover, numerous biological processes and regulatory networks are involved in the synthesis and accumulation of starch.

Results

In this research, a combination of transcriptome and metabolomics approaches were employed to analyze the genes related to starch synthesis and degradation in Pan. The crucial genes involved in starch metabolism were identified, and the response
