RESUMEN
Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) is a valuable sweetener plant whose sweetness primarily derives from steviol glycosides (SGs), especially rebaudioside A (RA). Polyploidization has the potential to enhance the content of active ingredients in medicinal plants, making this strategy a promising avenue for genetic improvement. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms that contribute to the fluctuating SGs content between autotetraploid and diploid stevia remain unclear. In this study, we employed metabolic analysis to identify 916 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs), with the majority, specifically terpenoids, flavonoids, and lipids, exhibiting upregulation due to polyploidization. Notably, the content of stevia's signature metabolite SGs (including RA, steviolbioside, and rebaudioside C), along with their precursor steviol, increased significantly after polyploidization. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome revealed that the majority of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in the SG-synthesis pathway (ent-KAH, ent-KS1, UGT73E1, UGT74G1, UGT76G1, UGT85C2, and UGT91D2) were upregulated in autotetraploid stevia, and these DEGs exhibited a positive correlation with the polyploidization-enhanced SGs. Additionally, multi-omics network analysis indicated that several transcription factor families (such as five NACs, four WRKYs, three MYBs, eight bHLHs, and three AP2/ERFs), various transporter genes (four ABC transporters, three triose-phosphate transporters, and two sugar efflux transporters for intercellular exchange), as well as microorganisms (including Ceratobasidium and Flavobacterium) were positively correlated with the accumulation of RA and steviol. Overall, our results indicate the presence of a regulatory circuit orchestrated by polyploidization, which recruits beneficial rhizosphere microbes and modulates the expression of genes associated with SG biosynthesis, ultimately enhancing the SG content in stevia. This finding will provide new insights for promoting the propagation and industrial development of stevia.
RESUMEN
The formation of high-quality Chinese medicinal materials is a micro-evolutionary process of multiple genes involving quantitative inheritance under environmental stress. Atractylodes lancea is a traditionally used medicinal plant in China that is broadly distributed and possesses a considerable amount of essential oils. However, to date, limited research has been conducted to characterize the genetics and metabolites of A. lancea shaped by natural variation. Hence, we assembled a high-quality genome of A. lancea, featuring a contig N50 of 1.18 Mb. We further integrated population resequencing of A. lancea and conducted analyses to characterize its genetic diversity, population evolution, and rewiring of volatile metabolites. The natural variation effect exerted significant pressure on A. lancea from different geographic locations, resulting in genetic differentiation among three groups. Correlation analysis of metabolites in A. lancea revealed significant natural variations of terpenoids, heterocyclic compounds, ketones, and esters. We also found that 427 metabolites displayed noteworthy divergence due to directional selection. Additionally, our genome-wide association studies on the metabolome for medicinal quality traits identified several candidate genes, such as AlZFP706 and AlAAHY1, exhibiting significant correlations with atractylodin and hinesol levels, respectively. Overall, this study provides an intricate genomic resource for A. lancea, thereby expanding our understanding of the effect of natural variation on metabolites and facilitating the genetic improvement of its medicinal properties.
RESUMEN
Astragalin (AG), a typical flavonoid found in Thesium chinense Turcz (T. chinense), is abundant in various edible plants and possesses high nutritional value, as well as antioxidant and antibacterial effects. In this study, we initially predicted the mechanism of action of AG with two anti-aging and antioxidant-related protein targets (CD38 and IGFR) by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation techniques. Subsequently, we examined the anti-aging effects of AG in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), the antioxidant effects in zebrafish, and verified the related molecular mechanisms. In C. elegans, AG synergistically extended the lifespan of C. elegans by up-regulating the expression of daf-16 through inhibiting the expression of daf-2/IGFR and also activating the AMPK and MAPK pathways to up-regulate the expression of sir-2.1, sir-2.4, and skn-1. In oxidatively damaged zebrafish embryos, AG demonstrated a synergistic effect in augmenting the resistance of zebrafish embryos to oxidative stress by up-regulating the expression levels of SIRT1 and SIRT6 within the zebrafish embryos system via the suppression of CD38 enzymatic activity and then inhibiting the expression of IGFR through high levels of SIRT6. These findings highlight the antioxidant and anti-aging properties of AG and indicate its potential application as a supplementary ingredient in aquaculture for enhancing fish health and growth.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Thesium chinense known as the "plant antibiotic" is a facultative root hemi-parasitic herb while Prunella vulgaris can serve as its host. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the communication between T. chinense 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 T. chinense and P. vulgaris. RESULTS: 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 T. chinense and P. vulgaris, as well as haustoria formation related 56 metabolites and 44 genes. There were 4 metabolites (ethylsalicylate, eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside, aromadendrin-7-O-glucoside and pruvuloside B) that are transferred from P. vulgaris to T. chinense, whereas 2-ethylpyrazine was transferred in the opposite direction. Furthermore, we inferred a regulatory network potentially involved in haustoria formation, where three metabolites (N,N'-Dimethylarginine/SDMA, NG,NG-Dimethyl-L-arginine, 2-Acetoxymethyl-anthraquinone) showed significant positive correlations with the majority of haustoria formation-related genes. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that there was an extensive exchange of information with P. vulgaris including transferred metabolites and mobile mRNAs, which might facilitate the haustoria formation and parasition of T. chinense.
RESUMEN
Introduction: Atractylodes lancea is widely distributed in East Asia, ranging from Amur to south-central China. The rhizome of A. lancea is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, however, the quality of products varies across different regions with different geochemical characteristics. Method: This study aimed to identify the chemotypes of A. lancea from different areas and screen for chemical markers by quantifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a targeted metabolomics approach based on GC-MS/MS. Results: The A. lancea distributed in Hubei, Anhui, Shaanxi, and a region west of Henan province was classified as the Hubei Chemotype (HBA). HBA is characterized by high content of ß-eudesmol and hinesol with lower levels of atractylodin and atractylon. In contrast, the Maoshan Chemotype (MA) from Jiangsu, Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, and other northern regions, exhibited high levels of atractylodin and atractylon. A total of 15 categories of VOCs metabolites were detected and identified, revealing significant differences in the profiles of terpenoid, heterocyclic compound, ester, and ketone among different areas. Multivariate statistics indicated that 6 compounds and 455 metabolites could serve as candidate markers for differentiating A. lancea obtained from the southern, northern, and Maoshan areas. Discussion: This comprehensive analysis provides a chemical fingerprint of selected A. lancea. Our results highlight the potential of metabolite profiling combined with chemometrics for authenticating the geographical origin of A. lancea.
RESUMEN
Atractylodes lancea is an important medicinal plant in traditional Chinese medicine, its rhizome is rich of volatile secondary metabolites with medicinal values and is largely demanded in modern markets. Currently, supply of high-yield, high-quality A. lancea is mainly achieved via cultivation. Certain soil microbes can benefit plant growth, secondary metabolism and induce resistance to environmental stresses. Hence, studies on the effects of soil microbe communities and isolates microorganisms on A. lancea is extremely meaningful for future application of microbes on cultivation. Here we investigated the effects of the inoculation with an entire soil microbial community on the growth, resistance to drought, and accumulation of major medicinal compounds (hinesol, ß-eudesmol, atractylon and atractylodin) of A. lancea. We analyzed the interaction between A. lancea and the soil microbes at the phylum and genus levels under drought stress of different severities (inflicted by 0%, 10% and 25% PEG6000 treatments). Our results showed that inoculation with soil microbes promoted the growth, root biomass yield, medicinal compound accumulation, and rendered drought-resistant traits of A. lancea, including relatively high root:shoot ratio and high root water content under drought. Moreover, our results suggested drought stress was more powerful than the selectivity of A. lancea in shaping the root-associated microbial communities; also, the fungal communities had a stronger role than the bacterial communities in protecting A. lancea from drought. Specific microbial clades that might have a role in protecting A. lancea from drought stress were identified: at the genus level, the rhizospheric bacteria Bacillus, Dylla and Actinomadura, and rhizospheric fungi Chaetomium, Acrophialophora, Trichoderma and Thielava, the root endophytic bacteria Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia, Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium, Dylla and Actinomadura, and the root endophytic fungus Fusarium were closely associated with A. lancea under drought stress. Additionally, we acquired several endophytic Paenibacillus, Paraburkholderia and Fusarium strains and verified they had differential promoting effects on the medicinal compound accumulation in A. lancea root. This study reports the interaction between A. lancea and soil microbe communities under drought stress, and provides insights for improving the outcomes in A. lancea farming via applying microbe inoculation.
RESUMEN
In the Atractylodes lancea (A. lancea)-maize intercropping system, maize can promote the growth of A. lancea, but it is unclear whether this constitutes an aboveground or belowground process. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of the root system interaction between A. lancea and maize using three different barrier conditions: no barrier (AI), nylon barrier (AN), and plastic barrier (AP) systems. The biomass, volatile oil concentration, physicochemical properties of the soil, and rhizosphere microorganisms of the A. lancea plant were determined. The results showed that (1) the A. lancea - maize intercropping system could promote the growth of A. lancea and its accumulation of volatile oils; (2) a comparison of the CK, AI, and AP treatments revealed that it was the above-ground effect of maize specifically that promoted the accumulation of both atractylon and atractylodin within the volatile oils of A. lancea, but inhibited the accumulation of hinesol and ß-eudesmol; (3) in comparing the soil physicochemical properties of each treatment group, intercropping maize acidified the root soil of A. lancea, changed its root soil physicochemical properties, and increased the abundance of the acidic rhizosphere microbes of A. lancea at the phylum level; (4) in an analysis of rhizosphere microbial communities of A. lancea under different barrier systems, intercropping was found to promote plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enrichment, including Streptomyces, Bradyrhizobium, Candidatus Solibacter, Gemmatirosa, and Pseudolabrys, and the biomass of A. lancea was significantly influenced by PGPR. In summary, we found that the rhizosphere soil of A. lancea was acidified in intercropping with maize, causing the accumulation of PGPR, which was beneficial to the growth of A. lancea.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Dendrobium officinale is a perennial epiphytic herb in Orchidaceae. Cultivated products are the main alternative for clinical application due to the shortage of wild resources. However, the phenotype and quality of D. officinale have changed post-artificial cultivation, and environmental cues such as light, temperature, water, and nutrition supply are the major influencing factors. This study aims to unveil the mechanisms beneath the cultivation-induced variation by analyzing the changes of the metabolome and transcriptome of D. officinale seedlings treated with red- blue LED light and potassium fertilizer. RESULTS: After light- and K-treatment, the D. officinale pseudobulbs turned purple and the anthocyanin content increased significantly. Through wide-target metabolome analysis, compared with pseudobulbs in the control group (P), the proportion of flavonoids in differentially-accumulated metabolites (DAMs) was 22.4% and 33.5% post light- and K-treatment, respectively. The gene modules coupled to flavonoids were obtained through the coexpression analysis of the light- and K-treated D. officinale transcriptome by WGCNA. The KEGG enrichment results of the key modules showed that the DEGs of the D. officinale pseudobulb were enriched in phenylpropane biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, and jasmonic acid (JA) synthesis post-light- and K-treatment. In addition, anthocyanin accumulation was the main contribution to the purple color of pseudobulbs, and the plant hormone JA induced the accumulation of anthocyanins in D. officinale. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that light and potassium affected the accumulation of active compounds in D. officinale, and the gene-flavone network analysis emphasizes the key functional genes and regulatory factors for quality improvement in the cultivation of this medicinal plant.

BACKGROUND: Isatidis Radix, the root of Isatis indigotica Fort. (Chinese woad) can produce a variety of efficacious compound with medicinal properties. The tetraploid I. indigotica plants exhibit superior phenotypic traits, such as greater yield, higher bioactive compounds accumulation and enhanced stress tolerance. In this study, a comparative transcriptomic and metabolomic study on Isatidis Radix autotetraploid and its progenitor was performed. RESULTS: Through the targeted metabolic profiling, 283 metabolites were identified in Isatidis Radix, and 70 polyploidization-altered metabolites were obtained. Moreover, the production of lignans was significantly increased post polyploidization, which implied that polyploidization-modulated changes in lignan biosynthesis. Regarding the transcriptomic shift, 2065 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified as being polyploidy-responsive genes, and the polyploidization-altered DEGs were enriched in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and plant hormone signal transduction. The further integrative analysis of polyploidy-responsive metabolome and transcriptome showed that 1584 DEGs were highly correlated with the 70 polyploidization-altered metabolites, and the transcriptional factors TFs-lignans network highlighted 10 polyploidy-altered TFs and 17 fluctuated phenylpropanoid pathway compounds. CONCLUSIONS: These results collectively indicated that polyploidization contributed to the high content of active compounds in autotetraploid roots, and the gene-lignan pathway network analysis highlighted polyploidy-responsive key functional genes and regulators.

Black spot, caused by Alternaria alternata, poses a severe threat to the industry of Dendrobium officinale, a Chinese indigenous medicinal herb. Dicarboximide fungicides (DCFs) have been intensively used to control this disease for decades in China, and offer excellent efficacy. The resistance of phytopathogenic pathogens against DCFs are reportedly selected in fields; however, the DCF resistance of A. alternata from D. officinale is not well understood. The isolates of A. alternata with low procymidone resistance (ProLR) were detected in the commercial orchards of D. officinale in China in 2018 and biochemically characterized in this study. The result showed that the ProLR isolates were selected in the commercial orchards with a resistance frequency of 100%, and no significant difference in mycelial growth, sporulation, and virulence was observed among the ProLR and procymidone-sensitive (ProS) isolates. A positive cross-resistance pattern was exhibited between procymidone and iprodione. Results of amino acid sequence alignment of AaOS-1 from the tested isolates showed that all of the ProLR genotypes could be categorized into two groups, including group I (mutations at AaOs-1) and group II (no mutation). Under procymidone (5.0 µg/ml) treatment conditions, the AaOs-1 expression levels increased in the ProS isolates and ranged from approximately 2.94- to 3.69-fold higher than those under procymidone-free conditions, while the AaOs-1 expressions of the ProLR isolates were significantly lower than those in the ProS isolates under the same conditions. The data indicated that the mutations at AaOs-1 are involved in the DCF resistance of A. alternata selected in the D. officinale orchards.

Black spot caused by Alternaria alternata (BSAA) is one of the most common diseases of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis, causing yield losses in China. Demethylation inhibitors (DMIs) have been used to control this disease in China for decades. Some farmers have complained about the decreased efficacy of DMIs against BSAA. The objective of this study was to detect and characterize the resistance of A. alternata against difenoconazole from P. polyphylla var. chinensis during 2018. Of the 22 isolates of A. alternata obtained from Sichuan Province in the southwest of China, 20 were resistant to difenoconazole. Mycelial growth rates and sporulation of the difenoconazole-resistant (DfnR) isolates were not different from those of the difenoconazole-sensitive (DfnS) isolates. No cross resistance between difenoconazole and tebuconazole or propiconazole was observed. Mutations were identified at gene AaCYP51 of DfnR isolates based on the sequence alignment of the DfnR and DfnS isolates. All of the mutations could be divided into three resistant genotypes, I (K715R + Y781C), II (K715R + D1140G + T1628A), and III (no mutation). The docking total score of the DfnS isolates was 5.6020, higher than the resistant genotype I (4.4599) or the resistant genotype II (3.8651), suggesting that the DMI resistance of A. alternata may be caused by the decreased affinity between AaCYP51 and difenoconazole.

In this study, the roots, stems and leaves of diploid and autotetraploid Dendrobium huoshanense were used as materials to compare their contents of polysaccharides and alkaloids, and the transcriptome sequencing analysis was carried out. The results showed that the contents of polysaccharides and alkaloids in the roots, stems and leaves of tetraploid were 7.6%, 34.5%, 17.2%, 0.01%, 0.024% and 0.035% higher than those of diploid D. huoshanense, respectively. The contents of active components in different tissues were significantly different. There were 3 687 differentially expressed genes in diploid and tetraploid D. huoshanense, of which 2 346 genes were up-regulated and 1 341 down regulated. Go functional analysis showed that these genes were mainly involved in growth and development, stress resistance and other related functions. KEGG pathway analysis showed that most of the differential genes were concentrated in the processes of carbon metabolism, signal transduction, carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism and energy metabolism. The differential expression of key genes involved in the metabolism of polysaccharides, terpenes and polyketones, amino acid metabolism, hormone synthesis and signal transduction in diploid and tetraploid plants may be the main reason for the high energy content, the increase of active components and the growth potential of tetraploid plants.

Stevia rebaudiana is an important medical plant for producing steviol glycosides (SGs) or stevioside. Autotetraploids (4xâ¯=â¯44) show an increasing level of morphology, physiology and tolerances comparing to diploids (2xâ¯=â¯22). However, little information regarded on the comparative transcriptome analysis between diploid and autotetraploid S. rebaudiana was found. In this study, synthetic autotetraploid was induced and morphological features were confirmed. A comprehensive transcriptome of stevia leaf, stem and root from the diploids and autotetraploids was constructed based on RNA-seq, yielded 1,000,892,422 raw reads and subsequently assembled into 251,455 transcripts, corresponded to 146,130 genes. Pairwise comparisons of the six leaf libraries between the diploids and autotetraploids revealed 4114 differentially expression genes (DEGs), in which 2105 (51.17%) were up-regulated in autotetraploids and associated with SGs biosynthesis, plant growth and secondary metabolism. Moreover, weighted gene co-expression network analysis showed co-expressed genes of ï¬fteen genes of SG biosynthesis pathway were enriched in photosynthesis, flavonoid and secondary metabolic process, plant growth and morphogenesis. A hundred of DEGs related to plant resistance were identified by interviewing PlantPReS database. This study has highlighted molecular changes related to SGs metabolism of polyploidy, and advanced our understanding in plant resistance responsible for phenotypic change of autotetraploids.
