The Mining of Candidate Genes Involved in the Camphor Biosynthesis Pathway of <i>Cinnamomum camphora</i>.

ABSTRACT: Cinnamomum camphora is widely cultivated for its camphor in essential oil (EO), which is used in pharmaceutical industries. However, the candidate genes for the camphor biosynthesis pathway are unknown. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify differences in the composition of camphor- and linalool-type camphor EOs and in conjunction with transcriptional analysis to identify terpene biosynthesis-related genes. The GC-MS analysis of C. camphora revealed 67 chemical components, including 32 monoterpenes and 35 sesquiterpenes, with camphor-type leaves dominated by camphor and linalool-type leaves by linalool. Transcriptome analysis revealed 6499 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between camphor- and linalool-type C. camphora, with 4244 upregul
