Abstract
Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn, a traditional Chinese medicine rich in coumarin, belongs to the Apiaceae family. A high-quality assembled genome of P. praeruptorum is lacking, which has posed obstacles to functional identification and molecular evolution studies of genes associated with coumarin production. Here, a chromosome-scale reference genome of P. praeruptorum, an important medicinal and aromatic plant, was first sequenced and assembled using Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Hi-C sequencing. The final assembled genome size was 1.83 Gb, with a contig N50 of 11.12 Mb. The entire BUSCO evaluation and second-generation read comparability rates were 96.0 % and 99.31 %, respectively. Furthermore, 99.91 % of the genome was anchored to 11 pseudochromosomes. The comparative genomic study revealed the presence of 18,593 orthogroups, which included 476 species-specific orthogroups and 1211 expanded gene families. Two whole-genome duplication (WGD) events and one whole-genome triplication (WGT) event occurred in P. praeruptorum. In addition to the γ-WGT shared by core eudicots or most eudicots, the first WGD was shared by Apiales, while the most recent WGD was unique to Apiaceae. Our study demonstrated that WGD events that occurred in Apioideae highlighted the important role of tandem duplication in the biosynthesis of coumarins and terpenes in P. praeruptorum. Additionally, the expansion of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, O-methyltransferase, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, and terpene synthase families may be associated with the abundance of coumarins and terpenoids. Moreover, we identified >170 UDP-glucosyltransferase members that may be involved in the glycosylation post-modification of coumarins. Significant gene expansion was observed in the ABCG, ABCB, and ABCC subgroups of the ABC transporter family, potentially facilitating the transmembrane transport of coumarins after bolting. The P. praeruptorum genome provides valuable insights into the machinery of coumarin biosynthesis and enhances our understanding of Apiaceae evolution.

[PMID: 37723451 PMCID: PMC10506206 DOI: 10.1186/s12863-023-01157-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, contains coumarin and volatile oil components that have clinical application value. However, early bolting often occurs in the medicinal materials of Apiaceae plants. The rhizomes of the medicinal parts are gradually lignified after bolting, resulting in a sharp decrease in the content of coumarins. At present, the link between coumarin biosynthesis and early bolting in P. praeruptorum has not been elucidated. RESULTS Combining the genome sequencing and the previous transcriptome sequencing results, we reanalyzed the differential transcripts of P. praeruptorum before and after bolting. A total of 62,088 new transcripts were identified, of which 31,500 were unknown transcripts. Functional classification and annotation showed that many genes were involved in the regulation of transcription, defense response, and carbohydrate metabolic processes. The main domains are the pentatricopeptide repeat, protein kinase, RNA recognition motif, leucine-rich repeat, and ankyrin repeat domains, indicating their pivotal roles in protein modification and signal transduction. Gene structure analysis showed that skipped exon (SE) was the most dominant alternative splicing, followed by the alternative 3' splice site (A3SS) and the alternative 5' splice site (A5SS). Functional enrichment of differentially expressed genes showed that these differentially expressed genes mainly include transmembrane transporters, channel proteins, DNA-binding proteins, polysaccharide-binding proteins, etc. In addition, genes involved in peroxisome, hexose phosphate pathway, phosphatidylinositol signaling system, and inositol phosphate metabolism pathway were greatly enriched. A protein-protein interaction network analysis discoverd 1,457 pairs of proteins that interact with each other. The expression levels of six UbiA genes, three UGT genes, and four OMT genes were higher during the bolting stage. This observation suggests their potential involvement in the catalytic processes of prenylation, glycosylation, and methylation of coumarins, respectively. A total of 100 peroxidase (PRX) genes were identified being involved in lignin polymerization, but only nine PRX genes were highly expressed at the bolting stage. It is worth noting that 73 autophagy-related genes (ATGs) were first identified from the KEGG pathway-enriched genes. Some ATGs, such as BHQH00009837, BHQH00013830, and novel8944, had higher expression levels after bolting. CONCLUSIONS Comparative transcriptome analysis and large-scale genome screening provide guidance and new opinions for the identification of bolting-related genes in P. praeruptorum.
