ABSTRACT
Ginger is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions and is one of the most crucial spices worldwide owing to its special taste and scent. Here, we present a high-quality genome assembly for 'Small Laiwu Ginger', a famous cultivated ginger in northern China. The ginger genome was phased into two haplotypes, haplotype A (1.55Gb), and haplotype B (1.44Gb). Analysis of Ty1/Copia and Ty3/Gypsy LTR retrotransposon families revealed that both have undergone multiple retrotransposon bursts about 0-1 million years ago. In addition to a recent whole-genome duplication event, there has been a lineage-specific expansion of genes involved in stilbenoid, diarylheptanoid, and gingerol biosynthesis, thereby enhancing 6-gingerol biosynthesis. Furthermore, we focused on the biosynthesis of 6-gingerol, the most important gingerol, and screened key transcription factors ZoMYB106 and ZobHLH148 that regulate 6-gingerol synthesis by transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis in the ginger rhizome at four growth stages. The results of yeast one-hybrid, electrophoretic mobility shift, and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays showed that both ZoMYB106 and ZobHLH148 bind to the promoters of the key rate-limiting enzyme genes ZoCCOMT1 and ZoCCOMT2 in the 6-gingerol synthesis pathway and promote their transcriptional activities. The reference genome, transcriptome, and metabolome data pave the way for further research on the molecular mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of 6-gingerol. Furthermore, it provides precious new resources for the study on the biology and molecular breeding of ginger.
