Key message

Transcriptomic analysis of the relationship between gene expression patterns and flavonoid contents in the flower buds of Lonicera japonica under light-induced conditions, especially the flavonoid pathway genes and transcription factors.

Abstract

Flos Lonicerae Japonicae (FLJ), the flower buds of Lonicera japonica Thunb., has been used to treat some human diseases including severe respiratory syndromes and hand-foot-and-mouth diseases owing to its putative antibacterial, and antiviral effects. Luteoloside is a flavonoid that is used by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia to evaluate the quality of FLJ. Light is an important environmental factor that affects flavonoid biosynthesis in the flower buds of L. japonica. However, how light triggers increases
