Integrated metabolome and transcriptome analyses reveal the response mechanism under drought stress of Callicarpa bodinieri ‘JinYe'

‘JinYe’ is a different cultivar of Callicarpa bodinieri whose leaves are golden yellow. Drought stress occurs in many regions and has a significant effect on plant development. In this study, the metabolome and transcriptome of C. bodinieri ‘JinYe’ were analyzed to elucidate its response mechanism to drought stress, after which differentially expressed genes and metabolites were identified. Integrated analysis of the metabolome and transcriptome revealed that the lipid pathway and Cluster-145547.39844 ( DNA-binding with one finger, or the DOF gene) may play significant roles in the response to drought stress in C. bodinieri ‘JinYe’. These results provide a basis for exploring the response mechanism of C. bodinieri ‘JinYe’ to drought stress.
