Integrative Analysis of Elicitor-Induced Camptothecin Biosynthesis in Plantlets Through a Combined Omics Approach.

Treatments with abiotic elicitors can efficiently induce the accumulation of specialized metabolites in plants. We used a combined omics approach to analyze the elicitation effects of MeJa, AgNO, and PEG on camptothecin (CPT) biosynthesis in plantlets. Untargeted analyses revealed that treatments with MeJa, AgNO, and PEG significantly inhibited the photosynthetic pathway and promoted carbon metabolism and secondary metabolic pathways.
