Article Synopsis
- Cistanche is a traditional Chinese medicine known for its dried stems high in phenylethanol glycosides (PhGs), especially in Cistanche tubulosa compared to Cistanche deserticola; however, the genes responsible for PhGs production in C. tubulosa are not fully understood.
- This study utilized advanced sequencing technologies to analyze the full transcriptome of C. tubulosa, resulting in 237,772 unique transcripts and identifying 22 enzymes related to PhGs biosynthesis, with a significant reduction in PhGs content from young stems to harvest stage.
- The research is a pioneering exploration of C. tubulosa's transcriptome, paving the way for further investigation into the biosynthesis of
Seed size is a key factor affecting crop yield and a major agronomic trait concerned in peanut ( L.) breeding. However, little is known about the regulation mechanism of peanut seed size.
