Integrated Analysis of Transcriptomic and Proteomics Data Reveals the Induction Effects of Rotenoid Biosynthesis of Mirabilis himalaica Caused by UV-B Radiation.

ABSTRACT: Mirabilis himalaica (Edgew.) Heimerl is one of the most important genuine medicinal plants in Tibet, in which the special plateau habitat has been associated with its excellent medicinal quality and efficacy. However, the mechanisms by which environmental factors affect biosynthesis of secondary metabolic components remain unclear in this species. In this study, RNA sequencing and iTRAQ (isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantification) techniques were used to investigate the critical molecular "events" of rotenoid biosynthesis responding to UV-B radiation, a typical plateau ecological factor presented in native environment-grown M. himalaica plants. A total of 3641 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 106 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in
