Platycodon grandiflorus(Jacq.)A.DC,known for its saponin content,can potentially prevent and treat cerebrovascular diseases and COVID-19.Triterpenoid saponin biosynthesis in plants is enhanced by methyl jasmonate(MeJA)application.However,the underlying molecular mechanisms of MeJA-induced saponin biosynthesis remain unknown in P.grandiflorus.In the current study,exogenous application of 100 μ mol/l MeJA was identified to be optimal for promoting saponin accumulation.RNA sequencing analysis demonstrated the PgbHLH28 gene as a key regulatory factor responding to MeJA during saponin accumulation.Overexpression of PgbHLH28 in P.grandiflorus increased saponin content,while silencing of PgbHLH28 significantly inhibited saponin synthesis,suggesting that PgbHLH28 acts as a positive regulator of saponin biosynthesis.Yeast one-hybrid and dual luciferase assays demonstrated that PgbHLH28 directly bound to the promoters of PgHMGR2 and PgDXS2 to activate gene expression.PgHMGR2 and PgDXS2 transformation promoted saponin accumulation,while silencing of these genes inhibited saponin biosynthesis.This study determined that MeJA promoted saponin accumulation in P.grandiflorus by inducing PgbHLH28 gene expression and activating downstream genes(PgHMGR2 and PgDXS2)involved in saponin biosynthesis.In conclusion,a complex regulatory network governing saponin biosynthesis following MeJA treatment was elucidated,offering a theoretical foundation for enhancing saponin content and biosynthesis efficacy in P.grandiflorus.
