However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the communication between <i>T. chinense</i> and its host remained largely unexplored. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive view of transferred metabolites and mobile mRNAs exchanged between <i>T. chinense</i> and <i>P. vulgaris</i>.<h4>Results</h4>The wide-target metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis identified 5 transferred metabolites (ethylsalicylate, eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside, aromadendrin-7-O-glucoside, pruvuloside B, 2-ethylpyrazine) and 50 mobile genes between <i>T. chinense</i> and <i>P. vulgaris</i>, as well as haustoria formation related 56 metaboliPlants (Basel, Switzerland)804https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10975001biostudies-literatureExploring Information Exchange between <i>Thesium chinense</i> and Its Host <i>Prunella vulgaris</i> through Joint Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis.PMC10975001Liu JTan MWang RZhang YHu GChen GXiang ZDing AMeng WfalseExploring Information Exchange between <i>Thesium chinense</i> and Its Host <i>Prunella vulgaris</i> through Joint Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis.<h4>Background</h4><i>Thesium chinense</i> known as the "plant antibiotic" is a facultative root hemi-parasitic herb while <i>Prunella vulgaris</i> can serve as its host.
