Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Molecular Signatures of Luteoloside Accumulation in Senescing Leaves of Lonicera macranthoides.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2018 March 29
Lonicera macranthoides is an important medicinal plant widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Luteoloside is a critical bioactive compound in L. macranthoides . To date, the molecular mechanisms underlying luteoloside biosynthesis are still largely unknown. In this work, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to determine the luteoloside contents in leaves, stems, and flowers at different developmental stages. Results showed that senescing leaves can accumulate large amounts of luteoloside, extremely higher than that in young and semi-lignified leaves and other tissues. RNA-Seq analysis identified that twenty-four differentially expressed unigenes (DEGs) associated with luteoloside biosynthesis were significantly up-regulated in senescing leaves, which are positively correlated with luteoloside accumulation. These DEGs include phenylalanine ammonia lyase 2 , cinnamate 4-hydroxylase 2 , thirteen 4-coumarate-CoA ligases , chalcone synthase 2 , six flavonoid 3'-monooxygenase ( F3'H ) and two flavone 7-O-β-glucosyltransferase ( UFGT ) genes. Further analysis demonstrated that two F3'Hs ( CL11828.Contig1 and CL11828.Contig2 ) and two UFGTs ( Unigene2918 and Unigene97915 ) might play vital roles in luteoloside generation. Furthermore, several transcription factors (TFs) related to flavonoid biosynthesis including MYB, bHLH and WD40, were differentially expressed during leaf senescence. Among these TFs, MYB12 , MYB75 , bHLH113 and TTG1 were considered to be key factors involved in the regulation of luteoloside biosynthesis. These findings provide insights for elucidating the molecular signatures of luteoloside accumulation in L. macranthoides .
