Transcriptional regulatory network of high-value active ingredients in medicinal plants

Abstract

In Figure 2 in this Review article, the two end products, Artemisinin and Arteannuin B, of the pathways shown are reversed. The solid lines of ORA and NAC1 regulating the downstream genes are changed into dotted lines. The corrected figure is shown below. The authors apologize for the error. Transcriptional regulatory network of high-value active ingredients in medicinal plantsZheng et al.Trends in Plant ScienceJanuary 6, 2023In BriefMany active ingredients have been isolated and identified from medicinal plants, including terpenoids, alkaloids, saponins, and phenolic acids, which have crucial roles in the development of drugs and promotion of human health (Figure 1). Many environmental responses and specific accumulation of active ingredients in medicinal plants depend on transcriptional regulatory networks of hormone signals. Here, we review the transcriptional regulation of artemisinin, tanshinone, salvianolic acid, Taxol, vinblastine, and ginsenoside biosyntheses, which mainly involve jasmonic acid (JA) [1], abscisic acid (ABA) [2], salicylic acid (SA) [3], gibberellic acid (GA) [4], ethylene (Eth) [5], and indole acetic acid (IAA) [6] signaling.
