Dissection of transcriptome and metabolome insights into the polyphyllin biosynthesis in Paris.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Polyphyllins are significant medicinal compounds found in Paris species, with different polyphyllins fulfilling distinct medicinal roles. Although some genes involved in polyphyllin synthesis have been identified, further exploration of the genes in the polyphyllin synthesis pathway is necessary due to the extensive genome of Paris species. The content and composition of polyphyllins vary among different Paris species, and the variations in specific polyphyllin levels across these plants make them promising candidates for identifying metabolites and genes associated with the biosynthesis of specific polyphyllins.

Results

In this study, we investigate the global metabolic and transcriptomic profiles of three types of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis (Franch.) Hand
