Amino acids profiling and transcriptomic data integration demonstrates the dynamic regulation of amino acids synthesis in the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cyclocarya paliurus is a tree well known for its edible and medicinal leaves. Amino acids are essential nutritional components that are present in foods and closely related to the flavor and quality of tea. However, the abundance of amino acids and the regulation of amino acid biosynthesis in the leaves of C. paliurus have not been investigated across different developmental stages.

Methods

A combined metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis was employed to investigate the changes in the amino acid profile over several developmental stages (S1, the smallest fully expanded leaf; S3, full leaf enlargement and full leaf thickness; and S2, an intermediate developmental stage between S1 and S3) and the molecular mechanism was elucidated.
