Abstract

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) plays a crucial role in defense response, immune regulation, and the response to abiotic stress in plants. However, the genetic regulatory network of CGA biosynthesis pathways in perennial plants remains unclear. Here, we investigated the genetic architecture for CGA biosynthesis using a metabolite-based genome-wide association study (mGWAS) and expression quantitative trait nucleotide (eQTN) mapping in a population of 300 accessions of . In total, we investigated 204 SNPs which were significantly associated with 11 metabolic traits, corresponding to 206 genes, and were mainly involved in metabolism and cell growth processes of . We identified 874 eQTNs representing 1066 genes, in which the expression and interaction of causal genes affected phenotypic variation. Of these, 102 genes showed significant signatures of selection in three geographical populations, which provided insights into the adaptation of CGA biosynthesis to the local environment. Finally, we constructed a genetic network of six causal genes that coordinately regulate CGA biosynthesis, revealing the multiple regulatory patterns affecting CGA accumulation in . Our study provides a multiomics strategy for understanding the genetic basis underlying the natural variation in the CGA biosynthetic metabolites of , which will enhance the genetic development of abiotic-resistance varieties in forest trees.
