Abstract

As a valuable medicinal plant, the yield of Panax ginseng is seriously affected by autotoxicity, which is a common phenomenon due to continuous cropping. However, the mechanism of autotoxicity in P. ginseng is still unknown. In total, high throughput sequencing of 18 RNA-Seq libraries produced 996,000 000 100-nt reads that were assembled into 72,732 contigs. Compared with control, 3697 and 2828 genes were significantly up- and down-regulated across different tissues and time points, respectively. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis showed that 'enzyme inhibitor activity', 'carboxylesterase activity', 'pectinesterase activity', 'centrosome cycle and duplication' and 'mitotic spindle elongation' were enriched for the up-regulated genes. Transcription factors including AP2s/ERFs, MYBs, and WRKYs were up-regulated in roots after benzoic acid treatment. Moreover, reactive oxygen species, peroxidases and superoxide dismutase contigs were up-regulated in roots after benzoic acid treatment. Physiological and biochemical indexes showed that the proline and malondialdehyde content were restored to lower levels at a later stage after benzoic acid treatment. Benzoic acid inhibited the root hair development in a dose-dependent manner, and several differential expressed genes potentially involved in hair development were identified. Several key contigs in the flavonoid and ginsenoside biosynthesis pathways were repressed. Finally, 58,518 alternative splicing (AS) events from 12,950 genes were found after benzoic acid treatment. Interestingly, contigs in the ginsenoside biosynthetic pathway underwent AS, providing useful information about post-transcriptional regulation in P. ginseng. This study revealed the stress-response molecular mechanisms in P. ginseng induced by benzoic acid.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 December 2015.
All research outputs
#7,469,234
of 22,834,308 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#3,602
of 10,655 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#119,712
of 386,751 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#141
of 388 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,834,308 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,655 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 386,751 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 388 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
