| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gentian (Gentiana triflora) is an herbaceous perennial that possesses several growth phases, including germination, growth, and dormancy. This study aimed to reveal the relationship between gentio-oligosaccharide metabolism and growth phase transitions. Metabolome and RNA-seq analyses revealed that several metabolites and genes were fluctuated during each phase transition, and some genes related to phase transition were induced by gentio-oligosaccharide application, implying that the oligosaccharides related to phase transition in gentian. Furthermore, we identified gentio-oligosaccharide degradative enzyme, GtGen3A, which is involved in controlling gentiobiose concentration. Because genetic modification of genes found in this study, including Gtgen3A, seemed to affect developmental processes, more detailed analysis will reveal the regulatory mechanisms of phase transition mediated by gentio-oligosaccharides.
