Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Differences Between Two Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk Phenotypes With Single- and Double-Headed Roots.

ABSTRACT: Saposhnikovia divaricata is derived from the dried roots of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk and used as a Chinese herbal medicine for treating respiratory, immune, and nervous system diseases. The continuously increasing market demand for traditional Chinese medicine requires the commercial cultivation of Saposhnikovia divaricata using standardized methods and high yielding genotypes, such as double-headed root plants, for achieving consistent quality and a reliable supply. In this study, we aimed to identify the quantitative differences in chromone, a precursor of flavonoid biosynthesis, between plants with single- and double-headed roots using high-performance liquid chromatography and further explore the two phenotypes at the transcriptomic and metabolomi
