Abstract
- Sweetpotato blades are rich in the functional secondary metabolite chlorogenic acid (CGA), which deepen potential for effective utilization of the blade in industry. In this study, we evaluated the type and content of CGA in the blades of 16 sweetpotato genotypes and analyzed the correlation between CGA content and antioxidant capacity. Then we isolated and characterized IbGLK1 , a GARP-type transcription factor, by comparative transcriptome analysis. A subcellular localization assay indicated that IbGLK1 is located in the nucleus. Overexpression and silencing of IbGLK1 in sweetpotato blade resulted in a 0.90-fold increase and 1.84-fold decrease, respectively, in CGA content compared to the control. Yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase assays showed that IbGLK1 binds and activates the promoters of IbHCT , IbHQT , IbC4H , and IbUGCT , resulting in the promotion of CGA biosynthesis. In conclusion, our study provides insights into a high-quality gene for the regulation of CGA metabolism and germplasm resources for breeding sweetpotato. • Chlorogenic acid content varies significantly among genotypes of sweetpotato. • Characterization of key transcription factor IbGLK1 in chlorogenic acid metabolism. • IbGLK1 promotes chlorogenic acid biosynthesis in sweetpotato. • IbGLK1 directly activates transcription of chlorogenic acid metabolism genes.
