Abstract
Light intensity is a key factor affecting the synthesis of secondary metabolites in plants. However, the response mechanisms of metabolites and genes in Gentiana macrophylla under different light intensities have not been determined. In the present study, G. macrophylla seedlings were treated with LED light intensities of 15 µmol/m2/s (low light, LL), 90 µmol/m2/s (medium light, ML), and 200 µmol/m2/s (high light, HL), and leaves were collected on the 5th day for further investigation. A total of 2162 metabolites were detected, in which, the most abundant metabolites were identified as flavonoids, carbohydrates, terpenoids and amino acids. A total of 3313 and 613 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the LL and HL groups compared with the ML group, respectively, mainly enriched in KEGG pathways such as carotenoid biosynthesis, carbon metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, amino acids biosynthesis, plant MAPK pathway and plant hormone signaling. Besides, the transcription factors of GmMYB5 and GmbHLH20 were determined to be significantly correlated with loganic acid biosynthesis; the expression of photosystem-related enzyme genes was altered under different light intensities, regulating the expression of enzyme genes involved in the carotenoid, chlorophyll, glycolysis and amino acids pathway, then affecting their metabolic biosynthesis. As a result, low light inhibited photosynthesis, delayed glycolysis, thus, increased certain amino acids and decreased loganic acid production, while high light got an opposite trend. Our research contributed significantly to understand the molecular mechanism of light intensity in controlling metabolic accumulation in G. macrophylla.

Abstract
Elsholtzia fruticosa is an ornamental plant with high medicinal value. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of the species. The complete cp sequence is 151,550 bp, including the large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,778 bp, the small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,492 bp, and a pair of invert repeats (IRs) regions of 25,640 bp. It encodes 132 unique genes in total, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and eight ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The comparative analysis of complete cp genomes showed that the genomic structure and gene order of E. fruticosa cps were conserved. The sequences of rps15, rps19, ycf1, ycf3, ycf15, psbL, psaI, trnG-UCC, trnS-GCU, trnR-UCU, trnL-UAG, trnP-UG, and trnL-UAA serve as hotspots for developing the DNA barcoding of Elsholtzia species. There are 49 SSR loci in the cp genome of E. fruticosa, among which the repeat numbers of mononucleotide, dinucleotide, trinucleotide, tetranucleotide, and pentanucleotides SSR are 37, 9, 3, 0, and 0, respectively. A total of 50 repeats were detected, including 15 forward repeats, seven reverse repeats, 26 palindromic repeats, and two complementary repeats. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete cp genome and protein-coding DNA sequences of 26 plants indicates that E. fruticosa has a dose relationship with E. splendens and E. byeonsanensis.
