摘要
Flavonoids are the main medicinal ingredients in Camellia nitidissima, but the regulatory mechanism of flavonoid biosynthesis in flowers is unclear; therefore, the flavonoids in C. nitidissima have not been effectively used. The present study performed full-length transcriptome sequencing of C. nitidissima flower. Furthermore, the reported RNA-sequencing data of C. nitidissima petals were reanalyzed using the full-length transcriptome as a reference, and the regulatory mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in petals was elucidated. The analysis identified 43,350 isoforms annotated in non-redundant protein (Nr), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), EuKaryotic Orthologous Groups (KOG), and Swiss-Prot databases, among which 34,602 aligned to Camellia sinensis genes. A total of 11,857 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 112 related to flavonoid synthesis, were identified by pairwise comparison. Subsequently, analysis of the phylogeny and the conserved motifs of R2R3-MYB using the proteins sequences identified three R2R3-MYB transcription factors that regulated flavonoid biosynthesis. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) identified phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and 4-coumarate: CoA ligase(4CL) as the hub genes and showed that bHLH79 interacted with PAL. Finally, validated the expression of seven DEGs involved in flavonoid biosynthesis using real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Thus, the present study generated and used the full-length transcriptome as the reference to analyze the transcriptome of petals and proposed a possible regulatory mechanism of flavonoid synthesis in C. nitidissima. The study's findings unravel the genetic mechanisms underlying flavonoid synthesis and suggest candidate genes for the genetic improvement of C. nitidissima.
