Integrated transcriptome and metabolome provide insight into phenolics and soluble sugar variation in the different varieties of <i>Gastrodia elata</i> Blume from different areas in China.

ABSTRACT: Gastrodia elata Blume is known for its "medicinal food homology", its chemical components include phenols, glycosides and polysaccharides. In China, the Anhui, Hubei, Guizhou, and Yunnan provinces are the primary G. elata-producing areas, among which Gastrodia elata Bl. f. elata (GR), Gastrodia elata Bl. f. glauca S. Chow (GB), and Gastrodia elata Bl. f. glauca S. Chow and Gastrodia elata Bl. f. elata (GR×GB) are essential varieties. This research employed metabolomics and Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) to quantify 19 soluble sugars and six phenolic compounds in G. elata from various origins and varieties. Transcriptome sequencing was performed on 24 G. elata samples to identify differentially expr
