Analysis of the laccase gene family and miR397-/miR408-mediated posttranscriptional regulation in Salvia miltiorrhiza.

ABSTRACT: Salvia miltiorrhiza is one of the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicine materials. It contains important bioactive phenolic compounds, such as salvianolic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins. Elucidation of phenolic compound biosynthesis and its regulatory mechanism is of great significance for S. miltiorrhiza quality improvement. Laccases (LACs) are multicopper-containing enzymes potentially involved in the polymerization of phenolic compounds. So far, little has been known about LAC genes in S. miltiorrhiza. Through systematic investigation of the whole genome sequence and transcriptomes of S. miltiorrhiza, we identified 65 full-length SmLAC genes (SmLAC1-SmLAC65). Phylogenetic analysis showed that 62 of the identified SmLA
