A Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Resource for Identifying Candidate Genes in the Biosynthesis of Specialised Metabolites in Populus tremula.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to identify candidate genes involved in the biosynthesis of salicinoid phenolic glycosides (SPGs), a group of specialised metabolites characteristic of the Salicaceae family. While the integration of multi-omics data represents a powerful approach to link genes encoding enzymes and their regulatory factors to metabolite biosynthesis, suitable multi-omics data resources are scarce. We present a comprehensive dataset comprising untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and mRNA-sequencing data from various organs of European aspen (Populus tremula L.) and from genotypes that produce contrasting sets of SPGs. We present a reproducible pipeline for the analysis of the LC-MS data, including predicted annotation of potential novel SPGs. We demonstrate the utility
