Abstract:Purpose Chicory is consumed worldwide and is an important commercial crop. However, excess lignin deposition may reduce its quality. The molecular mechanisms underlying lignin remain poorly understood. To address this, an integrative analysis of the metabolome and transcriptome profiles was performed in chicory sprout at 3 different stages.Methods In this study, metabolites of the lignin biosynthesis pathway in chicory growth were determined by UPLC-MS/MS, moreover, multi-group sequencing and quantitative anal… Show more
