Abstract
- Abstract Background Salvia miltiorrhiza, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, frequently suffers from replant diseases that adversely affect its quality and yield. To elucidate S. miltiorrhiza’s metabolic adaptations to replant disease, we analyzed its metabolome and transcriptome, comparing normal and replant diseased plants for the first time. Results We identified 1,269 metabolites, 257 of which were differentially accumulated metabolites, and identified 217 differentially expressed genes. Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed a significant up-regulation and co-expression of metabolites and genes associated with plant hormone signal transduction and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways in replant diseases. Within plant hormone signal transduction pathway, plants afflicted with replant disease markedly accumulated indole-3-acetic acid and abscisic acid, correlating with high expression of their biosynthesis-related genes (SmAmidase, SmALDH, SmNCED, and SmAAOX3). Simultaneously, changes in hormone concentrations activated plant hormone signal transduction pathways. Moreover, under replant disease, metabolites in the local flavonoid metabolite biosynthetic pathway were significantly accumulated, consistent with the up-regulated gene (SmHTC1 and SmHTC2). The qRT-PCR analysis largely aligned with the transcriptomic results, confirming the trends in gene expression. Moreover, we identified 10 transcription factors co-expressed with differentially accumulated metabolites. Conclusions Overall, we revealed the key genes and metabolites of S. miltiorrhiza under replant disease, establishing a robust foundation for future inquiries into the molecular responses to combat replant stress.
