Multiomic analysis of the synthetic pathways of secondary metabolites in tobacco leaves at different developmental stages by Zhijun Tong, Kun Yang, Xuejun Chen, Fei Xu, Xueyi Sui, Yujie Huang, Shenyun Zhu, Enhui Shen, Sanling Wu, Longjiang Fan, Bingguang Xiao

“…In contrast, during the later stage (T3), increased expression of dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) and anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) was consistent with elevated anthocyanin accumulation.ConclusionThis study systematically analyzed the coordinated regulatory network of flavonoid biosynthesis during leaf development in N. tabacum, revealing dynamic metabolic shifts across developmental stages. The findings offer novel molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying leaf quality formation and establish a theoretical framework for functional studies of candidate genes, reinforcing the utility of N. tabacum as a model species for secondary metabolism research and breeding innovation.…”
