Comparative Transcriptomics Unveil the Crucial Genes Involved in Coumarin Biosynthesis in Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn.

ABSTRACT: Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine that is abundant in furano- and dihydropyrano coumarins. When P. praeruptorum reaches the bolting stage, the roots gradually lignified, and the content of coumarins declines rapidly. Non-bolting has always been a decisive factor for harvesting the P. praeruptorum materials. To evaluate the amount of coumarin components in unbolted and bolted P. praeruptorum, the variations of praeruptorin A, praeruptorin B, praeruptorin E, peucedanocoumarin I, and peucedanocoumarin II were determined. Additionally, 336,505 transcripts were obtained from the comparative transcriptome data. Among them, a total of 1,573 differentially expressed genes were screened out. To identify the critical genes involv
