Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals the potential mechanism of seed germination promoted by trametenolic acid in Gastrodia elata Blume.

ABSTRACT: Gastrodia elata Blume (GEB) is a potential medicinal and edible plant with several active components and pharmacological activity that has a high application value in medicine and the food business. However, in natural conditions, GEB seed has a very low germination rate and depends on two specific fungi, germinal and nutritive fungi, to complete the germination process and growth. Armillaria mellea, while acting as a nutrient supplier, actually inhibits the germination of GEB seeds. Mycena strains, as the main germinating fungi, can facilitate germination but cannot support the subsequent growth and development of GEB. It requires symbiotic interactions with Mycena and Armillaria mellea to obtain nutrients for its complex life cycle. Our previous studies have shown that trametenolic acid
