ABSTRACT
UV-B radiation is a typical environmental stressor that can promote phytochemical accumulation in plants. Taxus species are highly appreciated due to the existence of bioactive taxoids (especially paclitaxel) and flavonoids. However, the effect of UV-B radiation on taxoid and flavonoid biosynthesis in Taxus cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc. is largely unknown. In the present work, the accumulation of taxoids and flavonoids in T. cuspidata plantlets was significantly induced by 12 and 24 h of UV-B radiation (3 W/m2), and a large number of significantly differentially expressed genes were obtained via transcriptomic analysis. The significant up-regulation of antioxidant enzyme- and flavonoid biosynthesis-related genes (phenylalanine ammonia lyase 1, chalcone synthase 2, flavonol synthase 1, and flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase 2), suggested that UV-B might cause the oxidative stress thus promoting flavonoid accumulation in T. cuspidata. Moreover, the expression of some genes related to jasmonate metabolism and taxoid biosynthesis (taxadiene synthase, baccatin III-3-amino 3-phenylpropanoyltransferase 1, taxadiene-5α-hydroxylase, and ethylene response factors 15) was significantly activated, which indicated that UV-B might initiate jasmonate signaling pathway that contributed to taxoid enhancement in T. cuspidata. Additionally, the identification of some up-regulated genes involved in lignin biosynthesis pathway indicated that the lignification process in T. cuspidata might be stimulated for defense against UV-B radiation. Overall, our findings provided a better understanding of some potential key genes associated with flavonoid and taxoid biosynthesis in T. cuspidata exposed to UV-B radiation.
