Integrated multiomics profiling elucidates the spatiotemporal metabolic dynamics and regulatory networks of the bioactive components of Trichosanthes kirilowii
Collectively, our findings provide a comprehensive molecular blueprint for the spatiotemporal biosynthesis of medicinal compounds in <i>T. kirilowii</i>, deciphering the scientific basis for traditional organ-specific use, establishing foundations for genetic enhancement and quality control, and offering scientific guidance for precision horticultural practices. Beyond <i>T. kirilowii</i>, this work provides a valuable multiomics reference for medicinal-edible plant research and serves as a methodological paradigm for bridging traditional knowledge with modern bioscience.
