| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Menthone-type monoterpenes are the main active ingredients of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. Previous studies have indicated that light intensity influences the synthesis of menthone-type monoterpenes in S. tenuifolia, but the mechanism remains unclear. WRKY transcription factors play a crucial role in plant metabolism, yet their regulatory mechanisms in S. tenuifolia are not well understood. In this study, transcriptome data of S. tenuifolia leaves under different light intensities were analyzed, identifying 57 candidate transcription factors that influence monoterpene synthesis. Among these, 7 members of the StWRKY gene family were identified and mapped onto chromosomes using bioinformatics methods. The physicochemical properties of the proteins encoded by these StWRKY genes, their gene structures, and cis-acting elements were also studied. Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analyses revealed that Sch000013479 is closely related to AaWRKY1, AtWRKY41, and AtWRKY53, and it was designated as StWRKY1. Upon silencing and overexpressing the StWRKY1 transcription factor in S. tenuifolia leaves, changes in the expression of key genes in the menthone-type monoterpene synthesis pathway were observed. Specifically, when StWRKY1 was effectively silenced, the content of (-)-pulegone significantly decreased. These results enhance our understanding of the impact of StWRKYs on monoterpene synthesis in S. tenuifolia and lay the groundwork for further exploration of the regulatory mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis of menthone-type monoterpenes |
