Genome-Wide Transcriptome Analysis Reveals GRF Transcription Factors Involved in Methyl Jasmonate-Induced Flavonoid Biosynthesis in <i>Hedera helix</i>.

ABSTRACT: Flavonoids are key bioactive compounds in plants that play important defense roles against abiotic stress and are involved in plant growth and development. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a significant growth regulator that promotes the accumulation of flavonoids in a variety of plants, but the effect of MeJA in Hedera helix remains poorly understood. In the present study, the flavonoid content was significantly increased after MeJA treatment and peaked at 6 h post-treatment. A total of 31,931 genes were identified using transcriptome, and 6484 DEGs were identified at 6 h post-treatment. Through GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, it was shown that DEGs were primarily enriched in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathways. Based on the putative transcription factors derived from DEGs, growth-reg
