Functional characterization of PcMYB25, a candidate regulator of Patchouli alcohol biosynthesis in Pogostemon cablin, via exogenous hormone-elicited transcriptome analysis
We conclude that exogenous hormone treatment triggers an extensive transcriptional response in patchouli, and integrated co-expression analysis identifies PcMYB25 as a candidate regulatory factor involved in plant hormone signaling and the accumulation of PcPTS-derived PA and sesquiterpenoid compounds. These findings not only provide new insights into the transcriptional regulation of PA biosynthesis, but also lay the foundation for further genetic engineering strategies for PA production.
