Functional Study of <i>PgHDZ01</i> Gene Involved in the Regulation of Ginsenoside Biosynthesis in <i>Panax ginseng</i>.

ABSTRACT: The HD-Zip gene family plays a vital regulatory role in plant growth and development, but its function in plant secondary metabolism remains to be further elucidated. This study therefore investigated the involvement of the HD-Zip gene family in ginsenoside biosynthesis and identified the genes that were highly correlated. Through correlation analysis between gene expression and ginsenoside content, heatmap and co-expression network analyses, and association analysis between Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) variations and ginsenoside content, the PgHDZ01 gene was identified as the core candidate gene highly associated with ginsenoside biosynthesis. Subsequently, this gene was shown to significantly respond to Methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) treatment and correlated with ch
