Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses uncover the early response mechanisms of Catharanthus roseus under ultraviolet-B radiation.

Catharanthus roseus produces a large array of terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) that are important natural source for many drugs. Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation have been proved to have regulatory effect towards biosynthesis of TIAs, which were meaningful for boost of TIA production. To decipher more comprehensive molecular characteristics in C.
