5 Conclusion
In conclusion, analysis was done on the protein differences of TH from two hosts. Functional annotation and enrichment analysis were performed for DEPs. Several key enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of flavonoid such as PAL, CHI, 4CL, C3’H were identified. At the same time, the content of 16 bioactive constituents were quantitatived. The findings demonstrated that the regulated patterns of the most proteins generally agreed with the content changes of bioactive constituents between the two groups of TH. In conclusion, our study integrated protemic and metabolic data, revealing the molecular mechanisms underling the the differences in the accumulation of secondary metabolites and providing novel insights into the proteomics in TH from different hosts.
