Analysis of Dendrobium huoshanense transcriptome unveils putative genes associated with active ingredients synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dendrobium huoshanense C.Z. Tang et S.J. Cheng is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with high medicinal value in China. Polysaccharides and alkaloids are its main active ingredients. To understand the difference of main active ingredients in different tissues, we determined the contents of polysaccharides and alkaloids in the roots, stems and leaves of D. huoshanense. In order to explore the reasons for the differences of active ingredients at the level of transcription, we selected roots, stems and leaves of D. huoshanenese for transcriptome sequencing and pathway mining.

Results

The contents of polysaccharides and alkaloids of D. huoshanense were determined and it was found that there were significant differences in different tissues. A total of 716,634,006
