Fig. 4From: Integrated metabolomics and transcriptomics study of traditional herb Astragalus membranaceus Bge. var. mongolicus (Bge.) Hsiao reveals global metabolic profile and novel phytochemical ingredientsThe inferred pathways for phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoids biosynthesis, and isoflavonoids biosynthesis in AMM. a The phenylpropanoid,flavonoids and isoflavonoids biosynthesis pathway. The relative contents (log2GroupArea) for each metabolite in the three tissues were denoted with juxtaposed colored boxes (left: root; middle: leaf; and right: stem). The metabolites that significantly higher in root than the other two tissues were marked by ‘**’, while the metabolites that significantly lower in root than the other two tissues were marked by ‘*’. The enzymes confirmed by transcriptomics data are shown in red. PAL, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase; C4H, cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase; 4CL, 4-coumarate CoA ligase; CHS, chalcone synthase; CHI, chalconeisomerase; CHR, chalconereductase; IFS, isoflavone synthase; IOMT, Isoflavone O-methyltransferase; I3’H, isoflavone 3′-hydroxylase; I2’H, isoflavone 2′-hydroxylase; UCGT, under calycosin 7-O-glucosyltransferase [2]; HIDH,2-hydroxyisoflavanone dehydratase; HI4OMT,isoflavone 4′-O-methyltransferase; IF7GT, isoflavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase . b The expression of the genes (enzymes) in the pathway measured by FPKM valueBack to article page
