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.
