Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Across the two Zanthoxylum materials 583 metabolites were detected, with flavonoids, phenolic acids and alkaloids the predominant classes.
- Observation Twenty-four coumarins were identified in the pericarps of the two Zanthoxylum materials.
- Observation Differentially accumulated coumarins were mainly associated with the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway.
- Association Integrating metabolite abundance with gene expression identified 56 candidate genes strongly correlated with scopoletin and scopolin accumulation.
- Intervention effect Transient overexpression of CCoAOMT, COMT and F6H in Nicotiana benthamiana each increased scopoletin and scopolin.
