Population transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling provide novel insights into evolutionary mechanisms of metabolomic diversity between divergent lineages of Rheum palmatum complex.

Abstract excerpt

The quality of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) greatly relies on the accumulation of medicinal compounds. As a crucial TCM, rhubarb (dahuang) exhibits significant quality variations across different geographical production regions. However, the insufficient knowledge on metabolic diversity and metabolic pathways of specialized metabolites across distinct geographical regions fundamentally constrains our...
