Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses of regulatory mechanisms associated with uniconazole-induced dwarfism in banana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uniconazole is an effective plant growth regulator that can be used in banana cultivation to promote dwarfing and enhance lodging resistance. However, the mechanisms underlying banana dwarfing induced by uniconazole are unknown. In uniconazole-treated bananas, gibberellin (GA) was downregulated compared to the control groups. An integrative analysis of transcriptomes and metabolomes was performed on dwarf bananas induced by uniconazole and control groups. The key pathways involved in uniconazole-induced dwarfism in banana were determined according to the overlap of KEGG annotation of differentially expressed genes and (DEGs) differential abundant metabolites (DAMs).

Results

Compared with the control groups, the levels of some flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids inc
