Transcriptome to Identify Potential Genes Involved in the Biosynthesis of Active Metabolites

L. (St. John’s wort) is a medicinal plant with pharmacological properties that are antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-cancer, and antibacterial. Its major active metabolites are hypericins, hyperforins, and melatonin. However, little genetic information is available for this species, especially that concerning the biosynthetic pathways for active ingredients. transcription factor families. Further analysis shows that 10.61% (6,277) of these unigenes contain 7,643 SSRs.
